The just released anthology includes two of Alice's true-life stories, along with stories from other women and family members affected by breast cancer. The issue also includes some of the latest medical information to give strength, inspiration, awareness, and hope to those affected by breast cancer.
The titles of Alice's stories are "Hats Off to Betty with Love" and "Forever & Ever." These two publications bring the number of Alice's stories in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series to about a dozen.
Alice is a fifteen-plus-year breast cancer survivor and an inspiring writer who writes with grace and humor--oh, and she's a dynamite critique partner as well. Even the most polished manuscripts aren't safe when she wields her signature red pen--just ask some of the guys in our group.
Congratulations, Alice! You are an inspiration to writers and survivors everywhere.
Great post, Donna! Alice is so deserving of ANY publications and/or awards. This is funny because last night I posted about Chicken Soup for the Soul having "real" soup for sale in early 2013! I'll go back now and add a note about Alice and your blog post! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Becky,
ReplyDeleteThanks!
A few days ago I read that CS going is actually going to sell soup. Guess they figure there's a market for it. I wonder if Campbell's is going to start selling books?
Donna
Very funny!
DeleteHa! You never know! (I added a note about Alice just now)
ReplyDeleteHi Becky,
ReplyDeleteI just tried to view your blog but it wouldn't load on my computer. Dang technology. I'll try back later.
Donna
Thanks Donna for the lovely write-up. Even I was impressed with me after I read it. Also, Becky thanks for adding to my "Celebrity of the Day" status but I couldn't get on your blog either. Usually it's operator error but if Donna couldn't get in . . . Thanks again guys and thanks for allthe help at C&C.
ReplyDeleteHi Alice,
DeleteYou are welcome. You deserve this and much MORE. Hope you have a wonderful day!
Donna
This is weird that both of you had trouble. Sandie from Georgia just viewed it and left a message, so maybe it's something local that's wacky!!
ReplyDeleteLovely "shout out" to Alice. Thanks for bringing my attention to this deserving lady.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky,
ReplyDeleteIt is wacky.
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for stopping by.
Donna
Alice IS a top-notch editor and reviser. And yes, she deserves all the publishing credits she can collect.
ReplyDeletePlease congratulate her for me. She is a wiz when she has that red pen in her hand...
Hi Sioux,
Deletei will let her know, although she'll probably read it here. ;-)
Donna
Siox, Thanks for the kind words (didn't find any mispellings or duplicate words). You do a great job yourself. Each person who critiques my stuff makes it better. Miss you at C&C. Hopefully you're writing away.
DeleteI WAS actually wonderng if I wood make any erors; or grammatical fo paws, since you--Alice--might be reading it.
DeleteThank goodness...I apparently handled the nervousness without any glaring goof-ups...
(I miss you, too. But those third graders are quite alluring, in their own way. And since there is no better job in the universe, I'm stickin' with it.)
Hey Donna, Alice was able to leave a comment and so were a couple of others. Please try again!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Alice on a serious subject, adn to you for promoting her wonderful writing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. By the way, you spelled and (adn) incorrectly. For your homework write the word (and) one hundred times. Can you tell I had nuns for 12 years?
ReplyDeleteYou ladies crack me up!
