Farewell and Thank YOU Book and Brier

What sad news... Book and Brier is closing. The staff and John were so helpful to making this book a success. They planned a great launch and continue to recommend the day I gave birth: real stories, real women book to readers. They have worked hard to support all local authors and I so appreciate the advice and direction. Farewell Book and Brier and thank you!

It is official! The charity donation in honor of authors has been decided. The Labour and Birth Unit within the Rawlco Centre for Mother Baby Care at the Regina General Hospital will receive 10% of profits on the sale of the day I gave birth in Saskatchewan. This will be a family-centred care facility, where women and babies are cared for together through their hospital stay. The facility's design provides private rooms and extra space for family and/or support people to be fully involved. Thanks for your support readers!
