October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast Cancer afflicted the mother of the main character in "Amid the Ashes and The Dust". She was a strong woman who held her family together and fought bravely to beat the disease - at least for a time. In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the author is donating 40% of his royalties from each one of his books and/or ebooks sold during the month of October. Enjoy the book and thank you for your support!
