About The Book & My Writing Background
About "Fighting For Our Tits"
In Old English a TIT was a teat or nipple—it is from the same root as teat (Middle English). It is not a dirty or demeaning word unless you make it one. Tit is a sacred word … it is the tit (teat) (nipple) that flows the milk from mother to child. It is beautiful.
My book, Fighting For Our Tits, has been writing itself for the last 30 years. It is a self-help book that empowers women to take their health and their breasts back into their own hands. As I've watched the whole breast cancer epidemic seemingly spiral out of control, I've become more and more determined to find a way to help all women stay healthy and keep our breasts on our chest through natural breast cancer prevention methods. Fighting for Our Tits is funny, wise, and full of little-known information related to keeping our breasts healthy, happy and whole. It is full of alternative breast health solutions that provide unique care for the breasts -- like shaking them -- that have been proven by science and research to send cancer running. You won't find anything like this book out there anywhere else - it is a compliation of 30 years of holistic breast care research by a woman with an open and investigative mind, a strong education in health and yoga, and a fierce determination to end breast cancer.
The language in the book is occasionally spicy, just like my everyday speaking language is spicy. It's not meant to offend; I am simply using my authentic voice to communicate my message.
In Sisterhood. Together, we shall overcome!

My Writing Roots
I am a hopeless bookworm and research rat. By the time I was ten, I had read every book in the library about the Kings and Queens of the world, along with everything else in the library as well. I am and have been an avid non-fiction reader all of my life. My current focus (of the last 40 years) has been yoga, health, and wellness. Writing is, for me, the natural outgrowth of reading and wanting to share knowledge.
