A Request for Your Help

Dear friends, if you've read "Because of Katie," would you please consider writing a review of it on its Amazon page? I know that time is precious (particularly if it's a sunny day in Seattle!), so I don't want to presume on your time, but if you liked the book, or thought it had something particularly helpful or valuable, would you consider putting a few words together?

The place to post your thoughts is just below the other reviews on the Amazon page (use the link above); there is a button to click, and that will take you to the sign-in page, and then on to the review form. Even a short sentence would be a help to others who are considering buying the book. Thank you very much - and special thanks to those of you who have already done this!
If, after reading "Because of Katie," you find yourself wishing that all hospitals and clinics were like Seattle Children's Hospital, would you consider sharing the book with a doctor, nurse or other medical personnel you know? It's available on Kindle as well as paperback, and Kindle format is even more affordable than paperback.

Everything and anything that you can do to spread the word about "Because of Katie" will enable me to share what I've learned on this path. My hope is to gently transform the state of medical care by expanding and deepening medical personnel's understanding of what it's like to experience medical care from the inside. Thank you very much!

My dear friend and writing mentor, Barbara Abercrombie, who has had many books published calls herself a marketing whore when she has a book out! I had to laugh at the contrast between that and your sweet request!

Yes. YES I will.
I loved the book...I love your family.
I only put off leaving a review because my own writing is below par...I was intimidated and would hate to embarrass myself. {and you}
I will climb out from under my rock and proceed as I should.
XOXOXOXO

I haven't yet had a chance to read your book. But I put your blog on my site:

Perhaps more people will see your blog and buy your book.
