Lauren Hawkeye/ Lauren Jameson once spent an entire
year narrating her own life internally. No, really. But where she was just
plain odd before publication, now she can at least claim to have an artistic
temperament. Learn more about Lauren and her books at her website.
When you make the decision to have a
child, your first thought isn’t often about what could go wrong. The fact of
the matter is, however, that you roll the dice every time you mix that cup of
genetic soup… and sometimes that soup comes flavored with Type 1 Diabetes.
My son Benjamin was diagnosed with
this disease at just two years of age. I was, for lack of a better word,
absolutely dumbfounded. Not only had we thought that we’d had a perfectly
healthy child, but even weirder than that, I’d been a volunteer with my friend
Brenda Novak’s Online Auction for Diabetes Research for several years. She was
the one who told me to take him to hospital. With no history of diabetes in our
family, I thought, what are the odds?
But that’s exactly the point. It can
happen to anyone. It can happen to you.
And while yes, at least diabetes is treatable, it’s still a scary, scary thing
to live with, especially as a parent. There is nothing that will prepare you
for a life of counting carbs, sticking needles into your sweet child’s flesh,
dealing with hypoglycemia, and being the meanie that says your toddler can’t
have the grape juice at his preschool’s Mother’s Day tea party.
This is why I’m so glad that some
force in the universe led Brenda Novak into my life. Though once I was only
vaguely aware of diabetes at all, I now, like Brenda, desperately want a cure.
While I have volunteered with the auction in the past, this year she gave me an
opportunity to make a bigger difference by helping to put the A Sweet Life
boxed set together. This set features fourteen—that’s right, FOURTEEN—full
books from New York Times bestselling authors. It’s available for only $2.99.
And it’s only available until the end of May.
Why should you go buy this set RIGHT
NOW? Apart from the fact that all proceeds (every penny) go straight to the
Diabetes Research Institute through Brenda Novak’s Online Auction for Diabetes
Research, if you wait until it’s gone, you can expect to pay over $50 to get
all of these books onto your e-reader. So basically… if you like contemporary
romance, why wouldn’t you?
