In Celebration of Grandparents' Day, Author Slashes Book Price By 50%

"Reporting for Doodie" Perfect Gift for Grandparents' Day, September 12, 2010. End Quote

(1888PressRelease) August 25, 2010 - Author J.L. Smith today announced that she is offering a 50% discount on her book "Reporting for Doodie: One Grandmother's Story of Commitment, Frustration and Unwavering Love" through Grandparents' Day, September 10, 2010.

The book is a nonfiction account of how military deployment - in this case dual deployment - affects the lives of the caregivers at home. It's a funny (sometimes very funny), sad and heartwarming account of the roller coaster ride she embarked on when called to be sole caregiver to her 2-year old grandson. So many events inspired her book…some happy, some frustrating, some sad…but all life-changing.

Smith found herself in the midst of an unexpected divorce, facing the possible loss of her home and making a major career change, when she was called to report for "doodie" and become a single working parent virtually overnight. In the midst of her time as caregiver, she also temporarily lost the use of her right hand when it was paralyzed as a result of radial nerve palsy.

As witnessed on its website (www.ReportingForDoodie.com), the book has received accolades from members of the military community, grandparents and "Grandparents Raising Grandchildren" groups across the country. Some have compared her writing to that of the great Erma Bombeck. First for Women magazine featured an article about Smith and her book in the August 16 issue, detailing her story of inspiration. The author also appeared on the Oprah show on a segment that featured stories of inspiring reinventions.

The book, which retails for $19.95 is being offered for just $10, making it an affordable and fun option for gift-giving this Grandparents' Day. The book can be purchased at this special discounted price by visiting www.ReportingForDoodie.com and selecting the dropdown for MSSN when checking out via PayPal. Additional bulk discounts available.
