Guest Post By Sarah Bates, Author of Twenty-One Steps Of Courage

When I started writing Twenty-One Steps of Courage, a novel about an Army troop desperate to become a Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown in Arlington National Cemetery, I also began sending packages to troops I found on www.anysoldier.com. I wanted to help make their lives more comfortable while they protected mine. I must have sent a hundred boxes, lining up at the post office with moms, grandmothers, and wives, myself not having a child or husband serving. A few letters of gratitude came my way, but the satisfaction I received from just sending the boxes was enough.

 AnySoldier.com is an operation founded by the father of a young Soldier. The 501(c)3 organization exists solely due to the effort of volunteers. Please help this website whose benefactors number in the thousands. To make a contribution to their work, look for my “Sarah Bates” page at  http://www.anysoldierfundraiser.com

 Another way to help is by mailing a package to a deployed Soldier, Marine, or Sailor from www.anysoldier.com. If you do, email me a copy of the USPS receipt showing the recipient’s APO number along with your name and mailing address. To thank you I will send you an autographed copy of Twenty-One Steps of Courage at a special price of $14.61, which includes tax and shipping and can be paid for using PayPal through my email address jsbates2@sbcglobal.com, or by credit card or check. 

 The war isn’t over.  Helping these brave young men and women is still needed.

A Sister to Honor_Cover ImageThanks to Courtney Landi of  Berkley & NAL/ Penguin Random House, I am giving away one print copy of ‘A Sister To Honor’ by Lucy Ferriss.

Book Description:

Afia Satar is studious, modest, and devout. The young daughter of a landholding family in northern Pakistan, Afia has enrolled in an American college with the dream of returning to her country as a doctor. But when a photo surfaces online of Afia holding hands with an American boy, she is suddenly no longer safe—even from the family that cherishes her.

Rising sports star Shahid Satar has been entrusted by his family to watch over Afia in this strange New England landscape. He has sworn to protect his beloved sister from the dangerous customs of America, from its loose morals and easy virtue. Shahid was the one who convinced their parents to allow her to come to the United States. He never imagined he’d be ordered to cleanse the stain of her shame…

“Vivid, compelling, as ineluctable as a Greek tragedy.” So writes Claire Messud (THE WOMAN UPSTAIRS) of Lucy Ferriss’s forthcoming novel, A SISTER TO HONOR.
