Wendy Wax's TEN BEACH ROAD is part of the third year of Penguin
Group USA’s Read Pinkä program with The Breast Cancer Research FoundationÒ , undertaken in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In addition to a donation of $25,000 for
ongoing research, the company is raising awareness of the search for a cure by
featuring Read Pinkä and the fight against breast cancer on the covers of fourteen novels
by prominent authors. The message is
seen nationally via hundreds of thousands of books. For more information please
visit the Read Pinkä site.
In addition to TEN BEACH ROAD, Read Pinkä features novels by Nora
Roberts, Carly Phillips, JoAnn Ross, Eleanor Brown, Madeline Hunter, Karen
White, Jayne Ann Krentz, Jodi Thomas, Natasha Solomons, Kathryn Stockett,
Catherine Anderson, and Jillian Hunter.
Wendy
is reaching out to readers with a the Read Pinkä
message via her web site, e-mail, social media and book
blogs and sites. She's also hoping to spur conversation about the program by
offering book clubs the opportunity to enter
for a chance to win ten copies of the Read Pinkä edition of TEN BEACH ROAD
for their group and a visit with Wendy at an upcoming meeting via Skype or by
phone.
Commenting
upon her participation in Read Pinkä, Wendy says "Breast
cancer never touches just one life. It touches family and friends and even
strangers, and its ripples extend through time regardless of the outcome. The
amazing strides in treatment and the many who have overcome this disease are
welcomed reasons for celebration, but we can't forget there is still no cure. I
am proud to be part of Read Pink and the effort to raise awareness of the need
to keep the research and the hope going strong. I'll be Reading Pink in
October. I hope you'll join me."
