Announcement About Angel Donor

This pandemic hit everyone pretty hard over these past few months. People are getting sick, losing jobs, and businesses are closing. The writing industry is no different, especially for smaller publishers. 

My book, Angel Donor, was created to help other children going through the transplant process. It is more than just a book to entertain. It is a book to provide help, connection, and comfort to those children going through the same thing. So it is with this in mind that I am sad to report that the pandemic made it too hard for my publisher to sustain their business, and they had to shut down. 


However, since I feel that this book is important and needed, I've decided to republish it now that I have the right reverted back. Illustrator Samantha Bell has granted permission for continued use of the illustrations. While I am sad to part ways with Guardian Angel Publishing, I'm happy and relieved to be able to create a second edition of this book. 

One of my plans is to create a hardcover edition, which I believe has always been missing. I'd also plan to do another Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign to help make this happen. More updates will come as plans develop. 

For now, know that this is not the end of Angel Donor, but a new beginning.

Feeling Thankful

I've always been grateful for Jackie and Anthony's medical teams. They truly stopped at nothing to make sure they were in the best of health despite the horrible diagnoses they had. So many times they exceeded my expectations. Whether it was tending to their care, stabilizing them or coordinating emergency care, they have always come through. So, it is no surprise to me to see the dedication and bravery the medical profession is showing in combatting the novel Coronavirus.

As a mom of 2 transplanted children, this disease scares me to death. I constantly worry and make sure they are not exposed. Yet, when the rest of the world is distancing from it, the medical profession is gunning for it head-on.  Knowing doctors and nurses as long as I have, I know they would settle for nothing less.















For all the help they have given my family I wish there was a way to help them now. And so I do what I often do when I want to help but have no means to do so - I write. So, medical professionals everywhere, this is for you.
