About Me: 

Laurie Kingston was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006 and decided to create a blog about it. She continued writing when the cancer spread to her liver and past the point when it disappeared. Her blog is the basis for a very candid, moving, and often very funny book about a mother, lover, and angry cancer activist who continues with treatment as she continues to find a great deal to enjoy in life. Laurie lives and writes in Ottawa.

Laurie blogs at Not Just About Cancer. Her book, Not Done Yet can be purchased via Women's Press.
