[DATE
CITY] Melissa Foster, author of Megan’s Way
and founder of the Women’s Nest, will be appearing on The
Authors Show radio beginning October 12, 2009. The interview will be
featured on the show’s site and will be available through
January 12, 2010.
Most great fiction writers give birth to their stories by looking
within – within their own lives, within their own experiences
and within their own heart. This is what sets good fiction writing
apart from what we classify as great fiction writing. In
Megan’s Way, Melissa Foster tells her story in such a way as
to accomplish what all great writers hope to accomplish. She manages to
bring the reader – heart, mind and soul - along with her on
the journey. In Megan’s Way,
she asks us to answer a question: ‘What would you give up for
the people you love?’
Megan Taylor’s cancer has returned. As a single mother to
teenaged Olivia, she’s faced with the most difficult decision
she’s ever had to make. When Olivia’s
internal struggles turn to dangerous behavior, even the paranormal
connection they share might not be enough to save her. Years of
betrayal come back to haunt Holly, Megan’s best friend. Can
secrets be revealed without destroying everyone in their wake?
“Megan’s Way was born from an event with my mother
many years ago,” stated Ms. Foster, “that festered
and nagged at me. I felt compelled to write about Megan’s
journey with cancer and the unconventional decision that she makes with
regard to her treatments because I believe that the her plight is one
that, unfortunately, many people fall prey to. Often times, people are
judged harshly for making decisions that are right for them and often
best for their family members as well. I wanted to give a voice to
those who face these horrific decisions, and give a sense of hope to
those that have lost loved ones.”
Ms. Foster has been featured in newspapers and magazines all over the
country, including Infinite Field Magazine, The Maryland Gazette and
the Monocacy Monacle. In addition to her appearance on The
Authors Show, during the upcoming months she will be appearing on
LibraryThing, GoodReads, the Gaithersburg Newcomers Group (MD) and SP
Book Expo (NYC). She will also be appearing as a guest on numerous book
blogs.
“I hope,” stated Ms. Foster, “readers
come away with feelings of faith (not religiously affiliated),
understanding, and empathy. There are enormous
secrets that lie between the characters—some exposed, some
unexposed, at the story’s end. I’d like to think
that readers recognize that what compels a person to make decisions in
their life may not always be wholly evident, and that while you may not
agree with decisions made by others, perhaps they should not judge too
quickly, and to accept and forgive for things they may not
understand.”
