SHADES OF PINK
Donate 4 a good cause and get your collection of short stories
The Shades of Pink Anthology is an ebook that gathers 22 short stories and that we offer as a gift to any person who donates in any amount to our fundraiser for research against breast cancer. During the month of October, we'll be posting excerpts, interviews with the authors and characters and blog posts about why we wrote these stories.
T. HAMMOND on cancerMy first experience with cancer was when my childhood playmate, Teresa ("That's Teresa without an 'H'," she stressed), was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. I remembered the scars (we called them zippers) all over her body from biopsy surgeries, and how tired she was. In her name, I began the habit of chopping off my hair every three years to donate to Locks of Love (yeah, my hair grows that quickly!).
There was a time, in early adulthood, when we lost track of each other, but happily, reconciled our friendship as adults and kept in irregular contact through occasional calls and email; mostly due to living three states apart. One day Teresa dropped me an email, mentioning she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer. She's already had her breast removed, but I found her letter's tone upbeat, praising her children's accomplishments rather than focusing on the negative. Sadly, Teresa eventually succumbed to surgery complications after cancer recurred years later. Her passing has left a huge Teresa-shaped hole in my world. even though our contact had been infrequent and casual-- maybe it was a matter of knowing she was somewhere, which made it easy to stretch out the time between calls?
When I sat down to begin my writing career in late 2012, I needed a name for my heroine who was blind, yet courageous and pragmatic. Instantly, I thought of my friend. My character, while different in looks and personality, is modeled after Teresa with her generous smile and laughing eyes, quick mind and extensive vocabulary, and kind, yet dry wit which kept me rolling on the floor laughing when we'd talk on the phone.
Teresa gave so much to the people around her. I'm proud to have been her friend. In tribute, I'm happier to donate my time and talent to the Shades of Pink Anthology in hopes the money raised can help other women like my Teresa, battle this terrible disease.

T. writes two concurrent versions of
the Team Red series for both the Adult and New Adult
audiences. Blind Seduction,
Color Blind, Blind Faith, Blind Rage, and Blind-sided are part of the Blind
series - featuring adult-themed erotic romance combined with a humorous
paranormal storyline. The Red series featuring Red Rover, Red Zone, and Seeing
Red (coming soon) is a funny paranormal romance series with a lighter less
explicit storyline. While both series contain the same character names and a
lot of shared dialogue, the Red series is stripped of sexual content and
contains modified innuendo and language.
T’s first Urban Fantasy, Posse:
Legends, is scheduled for Spring 2015, and will be her first book outside the
Team Red series.
