Hi there,

I just thought I would let you know that I have finally managed to publish my
collage book "The artful correspondence of Frederic and Kate".

One of the characters suffers from CFS

The book has been dedicated to my family, cfs sufferers and their carers.

A page at the back links to co-cure and cfs resources on the book website.

I have originally been thinking about avenues of donating a portion proceeds
to research, however it would probably not amount to much with a
self-published book. Hence I am looking at a model, whereby the book can be
made available for fundraising purposes (at wholesale price & postage/delivery
cost).  Any group could set their own promotional retail price. Any thoughts
on this would be much appreciated.  Anyone interested should contact me for
further discussion.

The book is currently available online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

One mouse character in the book suffers from cfs. Showcasing her predicament,
I am aiming at awareness of the illness in a wider community and am only
touching on the subject. This book arose from my creative pursuits while
resting and recuperating from daily chores. It is a 116 pg full colour mailart
project. It was never meant as a commercial project, however a good friend
suggested otherwise .

I am working on the second book, where I  intend to "dig" a little deeper into
the illness. I would love community help in developing the character's
condition further. I'm sure many sufferers have tales to tell and will be able
to inspire me with memorable anecdotes, which I can translate to animal
characters.

I am happy if I can do my little bit for the cause, even if it may be only to
inspire others to be creative in some way to ease the pain.

Kind regards
