Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so I’m using my little blog to do my little bit to raise awareness. If you’re 40 and haven’t had your first mammogram, do step away from this blog right now and go schedule it. Same thing if you haven’t had your annual. Seriously. If you’re under 40 but have a family history – like I do – you need to start even earlier.
Still here? Okay, then. I have a line-up of five authors who have dealt with Breast Cancer in their work or their lives this month, and one next month. They are blogging about writing and publishing – that isn’t changing. And I’ll be giving away:
Gail Konop Baker’s Cancer is a Bitch
Jennie Nash’s The Last Beach Bungalow,
and
Kirsten Menger-Anderson’s Doctor Olaf Van Schuler’s Brain.
I’m also setting aside three copies of The Wednesday Sisters: any winner who has also cross-blogged and included the link to the cross in his or her comment gets one.
I went to Gail’s reading at Kepler’s last night, and it was funny and fabulous. And while I was there, I saw Kirsten’s book just about to hit the shelves. It looks fascinating!
So just post a comment on the blog for the book or books you’d like to win – to win, please post on the guest blogs, not here! – and I’ll do drawings as we go along. Yes, you can enter to win all the books!

Enjoy Gail’s post below, and do come back all month! – Meg
