Book Launch: Chronic Christmas



New book just released!


I've been hinting at this for a while and it's finally here.

Chronic Christmas: Surviving the Holidays with a Chronic Illness is now available on Amazon.  

This is an Advent calendar full of self-care tips to help people with chronic illness savor the holiday season as never before. 

Chronic Christmas has daily suggestions to reduce stress and help you embrace the holiday spirit. Each day also includes ideas for how friends and family can support you in ways that also enable you to have fun together. And there are a few surprises along the way.

Aimee Coveney of Author Design Studio created the amazing cover. And as with every book I write, thanks to Holly Sawchuk of Writer Rescue for the edits.

Chronic Christmas is my gift to you this holiday season. I hope you’ll like it!

Chronic Christmas is available on all the Amazons, as well as Barnes & Noble.

Because most of the time, that hoof beat of a rash likely isn’t the plague, the joint pain more likely a type of arthritis than the bends (especially if the person has never scuba dived) and you get the picture. But once in a while, it actually is a zebra. And even if it’s first identified as a horse, eventually, the stripes come through. It took five years of my parents running around to different doctors before one finally recognized that I had

Getting a diagnosis of any type of chronic illness can throw you for loop. There is so much to know and you have so little energy.
