My publisher shared with me some excellent news this week: Uncomfortably Numb 2: An Anthology for Newly-Diagnosed MS Patients was a finalist in the Health-General category for this year’s National Indies Excellence Awards.

I share the honor with the breathtakingly honest contributors to this book whose stories exuded raw authenticity:

• Elissa Grossell Dickey
• Dianne B.
• Sarah Quezada
• Paige Butas
• Eddy Tabit
• Lydia Emily
• Noelle Connolly
• Laura Hoch
• Dr. Tanuja Chitnis
• Tim Coetzee, PhD

It’s my hope that those who pick up Uncomfortably Numb 2 will find comfort, valuable information, and the knowledge that they are not in this alone. There’s a whole army of folks out there who’ll have your back.
