Monday News and GiveawaysJune 29, 2009
From author Brenda Novak: In a year when most fund-raisers are down by 30% or more, Brenda Novak's Online Auction for Diabetes Research set a new record, coming in at $270,611! That's nearly $20,000 more than last year. The grand total raised in all five years is over $750,000. Definitely check it out and register as a shopper so that you'll receive the various announcements that will get you ready to participate next year, when this event should break the ONE MILLION DOLLAR mark.
I recently toured the Diabetes Research Institute and actually met with the scientists doing the research and feel very encouraged. I believe I will see a cure in my lifetime, which will be the fulfillment of my fondest dreams.
Recently I heard from author Erin O'Riordan that she would be visiting Milwaukee. When we got together and she told me about her new book, I knew exactly the location she needed. We drove to the East Side and there it was...the shop in her book. I did an adorable Drive By Video™ with her husband, Johnathan, but I messed it up somehow (I'm really sorry), but the good news is that Erin went back to the location and did one herself that can be viewed on her Facebook page. It was so exciting for me to be part of the process and I can't wait to read how Milwaukee is described in her version.From Jodi Rosoff, Associate Director of Publicity, Berkley / NAL / Penguin Group: Great news for British fans of paranormal romance!

Since I have been dealing with this disease for 26 years, it was a blast to participate. I bid on and won a critique from author Jill Sorenson, and my family offered a book video from www.onesixphotography.com . Can't wait till next year!
