| An Oath Taken by Diana Cosby |
Many of you know that I love volunteering
my time and energy in helping to make a positive difference in others' lives. As
a military brat, a retired Navy Chief, a former military wife, and a mom of three
children who have served in the military—two in the Marines and one in the Army,
all who have served in Afghanistan—I understand the demands on members of the military
and the impact on their families.
Upon return from combat duty, many
Veterans face challenges including depression, PTSD, survivor's guilt, suicidal
thoughts, brain injury, as well as physical issues incurred during deployment. I
wanted to do something that would make a difference and help these Veterans. So,
I will be donating 100% of my proceeds from the first week of sales of An Oath Taken (8 December
2014 – 14 December 2014) to veterans' charities and causes that support military
service members and their families.
A Matching Donation
I shared my idea with my editor, and
then asked if she could notify me of my royalties after the first week of sales
for An Oath Taken. My editor's response brought tears to my eyes. Kensington Publishing
Corp. would gladly do as I asked — and make a matching donation.
I'm awed by my publisher's generosity, more so that I know the money raised will
go toward making a positive difference in military members' lives.
It's hard to deploy and leave ones
family, friends, and miss the holidays, more so for those who are placed in harm's
way. But, it's also a tremendous challenge for the family members left at home wondering
every single day if their loved one is alive. And when the family is reunited with
their soldier after a dangerous tour of duty, regular family difficulties may seem
overwhelming. Many military families need support to stay strong as their soldier
receives proper treatment, which is one of the functions of the military charities
I support.
Education, proper diagnosis, and treatment
are the key to good physical and mental health. I sincerely hope that my 100% donation
from my first week of sales of An Oath Taken, combined with my publishers matching
contribution, can help returning Veterans as they continue their on-going fight
in overcoming personal battles on the home front.
Thank you all for your time, and may
God bless our troops and their families!
Sincerely,
Diana Cosby
