Today, I'm going to shamelessly plug my memoir, MY BUTTERFLY CANCER. It's on a special #kindle promotion today through next Friday, with an introductory price of just 1.99 in the first 48 hours. You can get it here for Kindle, or in print at CreateSpace or Amazon and Barnes&Noble.
This is my story of survival. Last year, I was diagnosed with leukemia. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood. In my case, the baby cells in my bone marrow that should have matured into red cells, white cells, or platelets never matured. Instead, they crowded out the healthy cells until I was so anemic that I could barely walk ten feet. My treatments were all in-patient, and I had to stay in a hospital 3 hours from my home. The first round of chemotherapy nearly killed me. I began bleeding internally, and they could barely transfuse enough blood to keep me going. I also developed a severe fungal infection in all my organs and tissues, so wide-spread that the doctor said he'd "never seen a patient with so much fungus in the body before"! 8 months of intensive treatment and numerous stays in the hospital, and I can now say that I'm in remission. But I will always bear the scars that cancer has left on my body and my soul. I still have scar tissue from the fungal infection. I'm still underweight. I'll never again be the busy, hard-working person I was before. But you know what? I'm okay with that!

More Marketing!
In my efforts to be a successful author, I spend a lot of time doing marketing. After all, writing a book isn't all that fulfilling if no one reads it.
So today I borrowed a hot spot and uploaded some videos to youtube and to my website. Theseare PowerPoint slideshow presentations that my oldest daughter helped me put together, and I'll have these book trailers playing on-screen at my book signing. For Once Upon a Western Way, click here. For My Butterfly Cancer, click here. And for Keeping a Backyard Horse, click here.
I've also created a LinkedIn account in an attempt to reach more followers. You can find the badge for that toward the bottom of the page. So feel free to join me at LinkedIn, I'd be glad to have you!
I need to spend more time writing! But tomorrow, My Butterfly Cancer will go on salefor the #kindle, just $1.99 during the first 48 hours, and I may spend a lot of time on social media, plugging my sale for the next 7 days. Then I'll get a break for a day until Keeping a Backyard Horse will be free for #kindle for 5 days. I'll get another day's break before Once Upon a Wester Way begins its #kindlecountdown! Should have thought of that when arranging my promotional dates!
