Striking a Blow at Multiple Sclerosis
I have a few friends who have MS. I know that it's a disease that can destroy one's quality of life. Possibly the worst thing about it is the uncertainty. You don't know when you're going to have a bad day. You don't know how badly your ability to function is going to deteriorate. The emotional drain has got to be nearly as bad as the physical symptoms.
I'm proud to say that I'm doing a little bit to strike a blow at MS. Earlier this week, the Coming Together altruistic erotica imprint released Coming Together Presents Robert Buckley, which I edited. All proceeds from sales of this book (which is available in print as well as in many ebook formats) will go to the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America. Bob Buckley's life has been touched much more directly than mine by MS, and he's donating a book's worth of his exceptional writing toward the research and support functions of MSAA.
If you know anyone suffering from this frightening disease, I hope you'll consider buying a copy of the book. It's not romance, although quite a few of the tales have happy endings. You can read one of the stories from the book for free at the Erotica Readers and Writers Association, as well as a great interview with the author. (But don't believe what he says about the way I look! All he's ever seen is my promo picture!)
Thanks for your support!

Somebody out there likes me...
So, I got an email yesterday from my dear friend and fellow author Ginger Simpson, informing me that she'd given me an award--well, actually two awards. One for being a "versatile blogger" and the other a "you are my sunshine" award.
First of all, thank you, Ginger! I'm honored that you'd think of me in these terms.
When I read further, though, I discover that these awards come with strings attached! These are the blog equivalent of chain letters. I'm now supposed to convey these two awards on fifteen people (for the first award) and five people (for the second).
Sigh. I don't know that many people! I've always been shy, and even on-line, I'm more retiring than most of my colleagues. (It's really hard for me to get up and yell "Buy my book!!" -- even when I think that you should!) To make things worse, quite a few of the people I thought about passing the award to are already on Ginger's list, since she and I share a publisher.
What to do? I don't want to disappoint Ginger. So I decided that I'd break--well, modify--the rules a bit. I'm supposed to tell you seven things about myself that you don't already know. I can do that. Then I'll award the Versatile award to five people and the Sunshine award to just one.
I do hope that will satisfy the powers that be!
So, first things first. Seven new things about Lisabet Sarai:
1. I may have the world's flattest feet. No arches at all. This pretty much zapped my childhood dream of being an astronaut.
2. I can sing most of the songs from at least a dozen musicals. Not to mention quite a few torch songs from the forties. (No, I'm not that old; I learned them from my mom!)
3. I've always dreamed of being a red head. You know, passionate, quick-witted, all that. Obviously I could color my hair, but that wouldn't do it. However, the heroine in my first novel is the red head I always wanted to be.
4. I love to cook. But I hate to follow recipes. I'm what you call "improvisational" in the kitchen.
5. I have a husband who thinks I'm smart, talented and sexy. Yes, STILL! (I'm really lucky!)
6. In addition to being an author, I'm also an editor. I've edited two for-profit anthologies and I'm now the editor for the Coming Together Presents charitable series.
7. I've had pierced ears since I was eleven. I almost always wear earrings, even around the house. Even if I'm not wearing anything else.
Okay, that wasn't so hard. Now, for the awards.
I'd like to give the Diverse Blogger award to the following people:
And the You are My Sunshine award? This is for "community support". Well, this is hard. But I think I have to award this to the Erotica Readers and Writers Association, which of course is not an individual. ERWA offers a forum for aspiring authors, writers and critique groups, and every month, an exceptional collection of how to articles as well as a comprehensive, continually updated listing of markets for erotica and erotic romance. If that isn't support, I don't know what is!
