As every author knows, the release of a new book is both exciting and demanding. Making the rounds of readings, media contacts, blogs and listservs to spread the word takes lots and lots of energy. When life in the form of illness makes other plans, a writer needs her village of friends to pitch in and lend their support.

That’s why I’m asking you to visit www.patryfrancis.com , the website of Patry Francis, whose wonderful novel THE LIAR’S DIARY has just been released in trade paperback from Plume. Patry was recently diagnosed with cancer and, while her prognosis is good, she could use all our help in alerting readers. Better yet, buy the book at amazon.com

Thank you for your help in sustaining our vibrant community of writers and readers.
