Facing the Sun: Writers for Richard Levangie

Fellow writer Richard Levangie just underwent serious surgery to remove a brain tumor. Twenty-nine of his friends have contributed fiction, poetry, essays, parables, and lots of other tasties to an anthology to raise money for him. My contribution is original fiction entitled "Impressions."

Here's the deal. Go to THIS SITE and make a donation in any amount to receive an electronic copy of the anthology. Whether you do it to help Richard and his family or because you want to read my piece (or both), I do hope you'll give what you can.

Thanks!

--Jason


Note--The title, Facing the Sun, was inspired by a quote from Charlotte Whitton: "Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you."

Consider my little heart touched, Jason! I am home now and resting well. I still face a number of challenges going forward but the efforts of you and so many writers have made that road a little easier..

Thank you. Thank you.
