Help Author Anita Stansfield In Her Battle with Celiac

08 Aug, 2013 by in Uncategorized Leave a comment

Hey book friends, one of our authors Anita Stansfield is in need, and we at Fire and Ice want to help!

Anita Stansfield’s  friend and fellow author Rachel Ann Nunes wrote the following in explanation:

 “Beloved author Anita Stansfield has Celiac Disease, which went undiagnosed for nearly nine years and caused a great deal of damage in several of her body systems. Through the years of treating it, she also had breast cancer and multiple surgeries for that and other reasons. During all this illness she put out 58 books in 19 years! But because she has a tendency to migraines, that’s how her body responds when it’s not healthy, and now she spends most of her days on bed rest and is unable to write…


…Anita has a great doctor who is helping her become healthier, but it will take a lot of time, and she really will not be able to put out a lot of books. In an effort to help her get through this rough patch, her friends have put up some of her previously unpublished books on the Kindle and now they have drastically dropped the prices to increase sales. 


All proceeds go directed to the family…


The first book The Captain of Her Heart is only $3.99!

The year is 1777. As the brooding mists of war settle over a stark American battlefield, Captain Ritcherd Buchanan yearns for his native England—and for Kyrah Payne, the woman he loves. Wounded and disheartened, he eventually returns home, only to have Kyrah torn cruelly away from him and deported for a crime she didn’t commit. Desperate to bring her home, he joins a band of privateers and finds himself embracing the American patriot cause—a cause he’d once sworn to defeat.


All alone in a country at war, Kyrah becomes a victim of the breach between her own impoverished circumstances and the aristocratic upbringing of the man she loves. They had been best friends and confidants for more than half her life, but now she wonders if Ritcherd will ever be able to find her—or if he’ll even try. And she fears that the chasm between their worlds can never be bridged.


A powerful and deeply moving saga, its intricate plot expertly woven and guaranteed to keep any reader turning its pages. The only disappointment is that the book ends!


The Captain of Her Heart may be the finest novel yet by best-selling author Anita Stansfield.



Any book purchased from the Buchanan Saga series will directly help Anita!
