He fights for his freedom, she fights for her life. Together they fight for each other.Sandi's Rog's first novel, The Master's Wall, was just released a couple weeks ago by DeWard Publishing. Sandi is a new author, and she was diagnosed last week with Type A Lymphoma on her brain.
Her publisher, Daniel DeGarmo of DeWard Publishing Company, has set up a fund for her into which they'll donate a dollar for every copy--paperback and Kindle--of the book that is sold. So hop on over to your favorite bookseller and buy a copy of The Master's Wall for Christmas, and while you're at it, pray for her and her family (hubby and two kids, ages 10 and 3).
Here is Daniel's letter:
"Hey all,
This is Daniel DeGarmo with DeWard Publishing Company. I'm sure all of you are aware of Sandi Rog's latest battle (with cancer - Type T-cell Lymphoma) that just began last week. As you can imagine, she's devastated, especially considering the timing of all this as her first novel just released last Monday.
Well, considering we are a small publishing company and can pretty much do whatever we want, my business partner and I have agreed to donate an additional $1 per book to a fund that I'll be setting up this week.
Just so no one thinks we are being shady about the whole deal, this is above and beyond the royalties that Sandi (and her agent) is already incurring with every book sold.
The purpose of this fund is to help out Sandi's family (husband and children) while she is laid up fighting for her life.
What I need from you is simply spread the word. For every copy of The Master's Wall that is sold (including Kindle) we will donate $1 to this fund. I'll also be setting it up so that it can receive regular donations if anyone is interested in just helping out financially.
I hope to have more information to share in the next day or so but at least for now I would ask that you would do whatever you can do direct people to buy Sandi's book.
Sandi has been copied on this email.....Sandi..Please forward this message on to anyone you think would help us out in getting the word out. The same goes for you if you've received this email.
I want to close by lifting the following prayer up on Sandi's behalf:
Father, I lift my sister before you as her body has been stricken with disease. You know, O God, that she has used her gifts to glorify You and spread your wonderful message of grace and love. It is my humble plea that you would bring her healing and complete recovery. I know You can do this, You are the Great Physician.
Please bring Your Spirit into her home as her husband and children continue to live life without her there. They need You. May all that is done bring You glory as our God and Father. In Jesus' name - AMEN!
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Dan"

This is a wonderful thing you're doing.
My prayers are joining yours for Sandi's recovery. And for her family during this time.
I hope her book sells well for multiple reasons.
May God get the glory.

Amen, Jeff.
Hey Trish, I thought I'd let you know I just put up a contest on my blog for people who buy Sandi's awesome book. The first 10 people who send me a picture of them holding it (to alison at alisonstrobel dot com) will receive a free copy of any of my books. Details are on my blog at alisonstrobel.com/alison-blog. The Master's Wall is a great book, and my heart just breaks for Sandi and her family. :(
How generous, Alison! I hope your efforts generate a lot of sales for Sandi.
Hi Trish, I published this section on my Blog so others can take a look at Sandi Roggs situation. I invite you to take a look and hopefully be a follower. It's still being worked on...but a start. Barbjanblogs
