WHAT'S NEW WITH TAMARA'S CHILD?

7-18-10:  TAMARA'S CHILD IS FRONT PAGE NEWS

A news story about a fundraiser using sales of B.K. Mayo’s novel Tamara’s Child
to help fund a local shelter for pregnant teens and young mothers who are homeless or in crisis was the lead story in the July 18, 2010 edition of The News-Review of Roseburg, Oregon. View the article at: http://www.nrtoday.com/article/20100718/NEWS/100719848/1001&parentprofile=1055

Thank you, Heather Morse of The News-Review, for the great coverage of this story. And, thank you, Sara Miguelena and the rest of the board of directors of Safe Haven Maternity Home, for believing in this novel enough to enter into this joint fundraising venture. And a special note of thanks to these Douglas County businesses who agreed to serve as sales outlets for the book: Associated Buyers,  A Classic Touch, Beauty Connection, Charley’s BBQ, My Coffee and Wine Experience, Hair Gallery, Parkside Flowers, and Western Oregon Jewelry.

Three cheers for you all!
