The Readers

My first book, No More Secs!, offers a glimpse into the mindset of a person diagnosed with a chronic medical condition. Other people with multiple sclerosis (MS) tell me that it mirrors their own experiences. Some used my book to explain MS to their friends and family. Feedback like this: “I laughed, I cried, I connected to you in a way I’ve connected with no one else. It was so nice to know I’m not alone,” gives me an indescribable high.

Catch That Look

The follow-up book, Catch That Look, is about my experiences with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), something I’d never heard of before. When a reader who was dealing with her own TNBC told me, “I’m passing the book on to my daughter when I finish it,” I knew it was worth the effort.
