Great Reads for a Fantastic Cause
Fiction has always been a great escape for me. Whether I’m reading or writing, I have the chance, if just for a few hours, to leave my troubles behind and go on an adventure. I trust my favorite authors to carry me away to far-flung settings with engaging characters and to bring me back “home” safely and with a sense of satisfaction. It’s what I try to do with my readers. Two years ago, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I needed that more than ever. Escape from worries about my diagnosis, surgeries, reconstruction, treatments like radiation and estrogen blockers—I’m so grateful to the authors whose stories I used as an escape, knowing that their heroines and heroes would face adversity and struggle but would emerge triumphant. It gave me hope that I, too, could overcome the adversities ahead and emerge stronger on the other side. That’s what fiction does, especially romance. We are the genre of hope. Whether you’re curled up in the comfort and safety of home or going through a dark night of the soul, in your finest hour or battling for your life, waiting for news that will bring joy or great sorrow, books are there to keep you company and see you through. For that reason, I’ve made it a tradition to give back by donating my October/November royalties to organizations that support breast cancer research and patient care. This year, I chose American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Initiative. Readers can feel great knowing that they’re supporting life-saving research and patient care while escaping into my fictional worlds, and that feels pretty damned good to me!

Award-winning
author D.B. Sieders was born and raised in East Tennessee and spent
her childhood hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains, wading barefoot in
creeks, and chasing salamanders, fish, and frogs. She and her family
loved to tell stories while sitting around the campfire.
Those
days of frog chasing sparked an interest in biology. She is a working
scientist by day, but never lost her love of telling stories. Now,
she's a purveyor of unconventional fantasy romance featuring strong
heroines and the heroes who strive to match them. Her heroes and
heroines face a healthy dose of angst as they strive for redemption
and a happily ever after, which everyone deserves.
D.B.
Sieders lives in Nashville, Tennessee with her husband, two children,
three cats, and her very active imagination.
