This book will raise funds to aid Karen in her medical care.Readers will find something for everyone in this anthology: romance, fantasy, sci-fi, suspense, and humor, just to name a few. 
Speaking of inspiration, let me tell you a little about our dear friend, Karen. She’s a loving mother and wife and a fantastic friend, but Karen is also a writer. Karen also still experiences a lot of pain still, so she has to pace herself. Tack that onto being a busy mom of two sweet little girls and you’ve got the profile of a warrior. Nothing holds her back. Nothing. She almost lost her life, but she came back fighting – literally. Just ask Karen’s nurses. She is our Orange Warrior. If there is a will, there is a way.  So buy this book and help out Karen with her medical expenses and read some very interesting stories.
