Children’s author Glynis Belec of Drayton, recently announced the publication of a new chapter book for young readers, Mrs. B Has Cancer.
Published through Angel Hope Publishing, the fiction book, based on Belec’s own cancer journey, not only addresses questions children might have about cancer,
but it takes readers on a journey with the main character, Tristan, as he comes out of his shell and finds an amazing, sometimes humorous way to help his friend.
On Oct. 19 the official release for Mrs. B Has Cancer will take place at Studio Factor, 24 Wood Street in Drayton, from 1 to 3pm. Families and friends are invited to come meet the author and spend some time enjoying free games and activities for children of all ages. There will be a door prize and other prizes, a photo booth, refreshments and an opportunity to ask questions.
“I initially planned on this book being a work of non-fiction,” Belec says. “I badly wanted to answer the questions some of my own students were asking me about cancer.”
But Belec found her initial plan became too clinical. She changed her method and found her work flowed better when she approached the same questions in a work of fiction.
Belec, an award-winning writer and children’s author, writes devotions, Sunday School material, dramas, short stories for anthologies, blog posts and she is the market columnist for a writer’s magazine.
Mrs. B Has Cancer is written for the juvenile market, 8 to 12 years, and is available in Drayton at Studio Factor and Blooming Dales and at other retail channels including www.amazon.com. An ebook is available on www.amazon.ca.
Signed copies of Mrs. B Has Cancer will be available for purchase at the Studio Factor book release, with $1 from the sale of every book going directly to Ovarian Cancer Canada.
