Wendy Wax's Ten Beach Road - Penguin Group USA's 2012 Read Pink Program

WENDY WAX'S TEN BEACH ROAD IS FEATURED IN PENGUIN GROUP USA'S 2012 READ PINK


INITIATIVE
 October 2012, New York Metro--Wendy Wax's TEN BEACH ROAD is part of the third year of Penguin Group USA’s Read Pink program with The Breast Cancer Research FoundationR , 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 Pink 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 Pink site.

In addition to TEN BEACH ROAD, Read Pink 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 the Read Pink 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 Pink 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 Pink, 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."
