Tornado

When award-winning author Mary Anne Mohanraj learned she had breast cancer, she immediately began recording the details in her blog. Tornado is her honest, day-by-day account of diagnosis, chemo, surgery, radiation, and reconstruction, over a three-year period.

I can feel the tension starting to drop

I was in dire need of this! Boom boom shrimp, lemon drop cosmo, had a quick swim, 85F, and now I’m sitting by the pool and talking writing with Emma Bull, Delia Sherman, Madeleine Robins, and Ellen Klages. I can feel the tension starting to drop out of my shoulders.
