In Memory of a Friend

Many years ago, I went to Jazzercise and met a friend who passed from cancer. But on one October day, we shared something quite remarkable. I was ecstatic my story was included in MuseItUp Publishing's Lavender Dreams. Here's a bit about it: Lavender Dreams is an anthology of short stories. All royalties are donated by the authors and cover artist to help raise funds for cancer research.

MuseItUp Authors dedicate this book to all who have been affected in one way or the other by cancer. All royalties from the sales of this book will be donated each year to a cancer research organization, or hospice in order to further combat and find a cure.

The book is divided into three sections: non-fiction, fiction based on true stories, and fictional stories—ten stories generously donated by the authors to help raise funds for cancer.

This book is dedicated to the memory of one of our dear editors who passed away in 2011 from cancer, Karen McGrath.
