Prayers (and Purchases) for Piccirilli

September 30, 2012 By: Patricia

One of our fine (and award-winning) Colorado authors, Tom Piccirilli, is scheduled for surgery on Monday, October 1st,  to remove a large brain tumor. After that, he faces radiation and chemotherapy.

There will be fundraisers and other ways to help Tom and his family as time goes on, but for now, he needs our prayers for successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

If you want to learn more about Tom, he was one of our guests for “Three Authors, Three Questions” at Chiseled in Rock in May, and I’ve mentioned his talent and his outstanding novels on this blog as well. I highly recommend his most recent release, The Last Kind Words, published in hardcover by Bantam. You can also visit his website.

If you want to show additional support for Tom, join his fans and friends and buy a book. Whether you go to amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, or your favorite indie store (like Old Firehouse Books in Fort Collins, CO), you’ll find a collection of well written novels in horror and in mystery/thriller genres.

Update: There’s an Indigogo site set up by Tom’s niece for contributions toward medical expenses. If you’re interested in donating, here’s the link:  http://www.indiegogo.com/TomPiccirilli.

    I will add Tom to my prayers for a good friend Mary, who has gone into hospital for more tests prior to surgery for liver cancer.

I read, I write, I blog, and sometimes I do the laundry and cook. My 2014 novel, Dead Wrong, was a finalist in the thriller category of the 2015 Colorado Book Awards. Wishing Caswell Dead (Five Star/Cengage, December 20, 2017) is a historical mystery set in 1830s Illinois in the fictitious Village of Sangamon. The novel was a finalist for the 2018 Colorado Book Awards for General Fiction. My most recent release, In Defense of Delia (Five Star/Cengage, November 2022), is available in hardcover and will soon be available in ebook and trade paperback. Read More…
