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."
