Her Book includes advice to military on how to deal with deployment over the holidays
When the unexpected death of the author occurs shortly before the pub date of her new book, the publisher is usually without contingency. Promotional plans centered on the author become meaningless.
When Bonnie Domrose Stone, died shortly before the November pub date of her newest book Beating the GI Blues: The Military Spouse’s Guide to Living Well withUncle Sam, a radio tour was scuttled, plans for book signings at post exchanges put aside as were speaking tours at military bases.
But Bonnie Domrose Stone had been a military wife and people in the military have a special bond. There is something special about relationships forged in sacrifice. Bonnie’s friends made a promise to her, as she was dying, that they would promote Beating the GI Blues for her.
And that they are doing. A book event at the Barnes and Noble bookstore in Palmdale, California on December 5th will be hosted by two friends and fellow authors Ellie Kay and Joan Fry, and Ellie Kay a media professional and author of Heroes at Home volunteered to handle media appearances to discuss the depth of information in her friend’s new book. It includes advice, poignantly, about how to deal with the holidays when deployment separates the family.
Beating the GI Blues: The Military Spouse’s Guide to Living Well with Uncle Sam, covers the vital and little understood points of importance critical to enlisted personnel in this time of multiple wars, and details what the enlisted spouse needs to know and how to get it in the vast superstructure of the American military.
