One of my favorite bloggers, Pamela Jeanne at A Fresh Start, needs your assistance.

Her powerful book, Silent Sorority, is up for a very cool honor. I received this message from PJ and wanted to pass it along to you all:

Your kind support encouraged me to move forward and write Silent Sorority.

I’ve learn today that Silent Sorority is among a set of “Indie” books being considered for a “10 Best Books for Spring” feature on More.com. You can help ensure Silent Sorority makes the top 10 list with a simple vote on IndieReader.com.

As an “Indie” author, I haven’t had the luxury of a PR machine and a large distribution channel behind my book. Its success has been via word of mouth — and for that I’m very grateful to you and your efforts. Please feel free to encourage your friends or blog readers to vote, too…!

Many, many thanks for your continued support. All the best, Pamela

So get out there and vote early and often.

And speaking of voting, the story I wrote for Chicago Parent magazine about the fear I have about passing my former obesity and eating issues on to Nola won the 2009 first prize in the personal essay category from the Parenting Publications of America. It’s called For The Love Of Nola - check it out if you haven’t already.
