Winner Announcement!

Last week I had three guests on Amberkatze's Book Blog.

Nancy Haddock, Edie Ramer and Misty Evans were here telling us all about a new anthology called 'Entangled'. The book is filled with some amazing stories and there are even short stories from Jennifer Estep and Cynthia Eden inside. However the best thing about this book is that all the proceeds are going to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

To celebrate the release Entangled, Nancy Haddock, Edie Ramer and Misty Evans explained how the book came to be and why they chose The Breast Cancer Research Foundation as the good cause for the proceeds to go to. They also very kindly put up three copies as prizes and I decided to also offer three copies. It is all for a good cause afterall!

Thank you to everyone who entered the contest and shared their stories. I hope you all buy a copy of Entangled to support The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Special Author Event & Contest with Edie Ramer, Misty Evans & Nancy Haddock!

A couple of weeks ago I got an email from author Nancy Haddock. This isn't an unusual occurrence as we have been emailing each other on a pretty regular basis for a few years now. However this email was different. This email made me jump for joy. Not only was Nancy contributing a short story to an anthology but the best part was all the proceeds for the book is going to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

To know that some of my favourite authors have come together to do something so amazing really made me proud. I could only show my support by reviewing Entangled and offering to make a special event for the book to celebrate the release!

Everyone has a story to tell when it comes to breast cancer. My grandmother fought breast cancer and like all women should, I get myself screened and check myself in the shower regularly. It may just be another disease but hopefully one day there will be a cure. Buying Entangled could help bring this cure closer and it is a great read as well!

So I hope you enjoy the following insight to how the anthology Entangled got made. Edie Ramer, Misty Evans and Nancy Haddock all talk about why and how the book came about and what it meant to them to be a part of it.

Also make sure you enter the contest at the end of the event! You could win a copy of Entangled!

Edie Ramer:

Last April, I emailed Misty and casually mentioned that I’d like to set up a short story anthology and give the money to a charity. I'd like to do a lot of things some day--clean all my closets, visit Europe for a summer and Australia for a winter. But Misty isn't a "some day" type of person. She's a "today" type. She emailed me back and said, "Let's do it." I said okay, and we were off and running.

Misty Evans:

Edie and I are in a couple of groups together and I’ve always been wowed by her mad writing and people skills. When she suggested we put together an anthology with proceeds going to charity, I jumped on the opportunity.

Edie Ramer:

It happened so fast and so smoothly, I'm a bit awed. Misty and I both write paranormal romance, so that was an easy pick. She chose the Halloween theme to unify the stories. I'm a breast cancer survivor, and one of my critique partners has been fighting breast cancer for fifteen years. She's my hero. That was my choice for the charity, and Misty immediately agreed.

Misty Evans:

I lost an aunt to breast cancer, and one of my childhood friends recently went through a double mastectomy. When I worked in health care, I managed a breast and cervical cancer screening program for women without insurance, and saw how desperate the need was for more screenings, education and research. Breast cancer affects so many of us, it’s a cause near and dear to our hearts.

Edie Ramer:

I think that the charity was the reason so many amazing writers signed on for this. Every writer has been wonderful to work with, and each has written a fantastic story. I'm very proud of what we've done.

Misty Evans:

Along with all the great stories that were donated, Stacia Kane contributed the foreword, Laura Morrigan created the cover art, and Lori Devoti provided formatting.

Nancy Haddock:

Edie and Misty are cherished friends, so I would have jumped at any project for any cause they spearheaded. But breast cancer – along with other cancers – runs in my family. I also have sisters-of-the-heart who are triumphing over the disease including a sister-in-law and numerous writer friends. Breast cancer is personal.

So, when Misty invited me to the project, my first thought was, “I’m so there!” My second thought was, “Can I write a short story?” Yikes! I’d not turned my hand to short stories since college, but the anthology was important enough to give it my best shot. As it happens, I’m pleased with my story contribution, and tickled silly to be in company with such amazing authors. My personal thanks to everyone who donated time and talent to the anthology, and my eternal gratitude to all those readers who by it!!
