Tale of Meeting a Fellow Author...
Hi, it's Trevor here. We almost forgot to share Brenda's big highlight of the month with you. Brenda got to meet one of her fellow authors, Amy Zellmer, on September 13th. Amy was the featured speaker at the Bismarck Veterans Memorial Library. Brenda wanted very much, to go meet her.
Amy was one of the contributors for the book; Real Life Diaries: Living with a Brain Injury, which was originally published in the Grief Diaries Anthology Series, with the same title. Brenda was one of the coauthors for that book.
Amy contacted Brenda after the book project was completed, and asked if she would be interested in contributing to her book project titled; Surviving Brain Injury: Stories of Strength and Inspiration.
How cool was that? Brenda's story is featured on page 48. The reason that is so significant; Brenda was that age, when she was diagnosed with her right frontal lobe nonmalignant meningioma brain tumor and subsequently underwent a craniotomy. As you know her BIG 10 was this year on September 8th.
Meeting Amy was one of Brenda's greatest joys, for the month. Amy was kind enough to autograph both of her published books for Brenda. They also had their picture taken together.
It was a wonderful evening of connecting with other traumatic brain injury survivors. One of the biggest things that Brenda learned that evening was; "Every concussion is a traumatic brain injury." Brenda having had 2 concussions herself, it definitely hit home.
We hope you enjoyed this tale.
