<p>In 2008 I was diagnosed with bladder cancer and I underwent two years of treatment including chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. In January of 2010 I had my bladder removed and thankfully I have been cancer free since then.&#160;</p>&#13; &#13; <p>In 2014 I self-published my memoir &#8220;Beating the Odds&#8221;, A Chronicle of a Cancer Survivor&#8217;s Battle with Cancer, Inadequate Healthcare and Social Injustice. Unlike most cancer survivor success stories, my book differs because it provides the reader with a poignant look into the trials and tribulations that all cancer patients have to deal with above and beyond their treatment.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>Since then I have gone on to publish:</p>&#13; &#13; <p>&#8220;The Reporter&#8221; a&#160;unique and poignant story given the current events and public sentiment. It is a fast-paced tale of a tormented woman reporter, who accidentally kills a man in self-defence on her way home from work one night. She soon discovers that the man was a war vet living on the street, facts that are shockingly similar to her own dad&#8217;s situation.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>&#8220;After The Sun Rises&#8221; a sequel to &#8220;The Reporter&#8221;. After a car accident leaves Jill and her family devastated they must deal with the aftermath with the help of an unsuspecting helper. The woman who caused the accident.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>&#8220;The Grotto and Other Stories&#8221; a collection of short stories based on real life events.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>&#8220;C-ancer-athartic poems&#8221; a book of poetry containing poems I wrote during and after my cancer treatment.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>&#8220;Eli and the Fisherman&#8221; a heartwarming children&#8217;s book that tells the story of a young boy and an old fisherman.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>&#8220;Sebastian&#8217;s Fish&#8221; a delightful children&#8217;s story about a boy who goes to buy his first fish.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>&#8220;Didi&#8217;s Demise&#8221; in &#8220;Sebastian&#8217;s Fish&#8221; Sebastian bought his first fish.
