Death by Rheumatoid Arthritis by Carla Jones




Laurel, MD—May 14, 2010—By 2030, an estimated 67 million Americans ages 18 years or older are projected to have doctor-diagnosed arthritis. Three categories of AORC account for almost 80% of deaths: 22% of them are attributed to rheumatoid arthritis. Echelon Press, LLC announced today that Allentown author Carla Jones's eBook "Death by Rheumatoid Arthritis" will be available for sale June 1, 2010. With very personal ties to this disease, Ms. Jones will be donating her royalties to The Arthritis Foundation.

For twelve years Jones worked in the Pharmacy industry with another four years in Mental Health. Ms. Jones spent part of this time nursing her mother, who ultimately died from complications of Rheumatoid Arthritis. After her mother's death, she spent four years researching Death by Rheumatoid Arthritis.

"I hope this eBook will send a message to those afflicted with this incurable disease, to their caregivers and to the general public, warning them of the potential deadly complications associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis," says Jones. "This disease is greatly underestimated in its power to devastate."

Echelon Press hopes this eBook will offer useful information and comfort to others who face this affliction or who deal with the disease in their loved ones. "Every disease is horrible, but so many people don't realize that this can kill, and does."

Author Carla Jones is a fresh voice at Echelon Press. Her non-fiction eBook, Death by Rheumatoid Arthritis, chronicles her mother’s medical and personal experience, fighting the disease. After many years living with RA, her mother manifested many unusual physical symptoms. One specialist was able to correctly diagnose her with spinal cord syndrome, due to her eroded cervical spine. When the diagnosis was revealed, corrective surgery was not a survivable option.  Carla Jones attended Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida and Pinebrook Jr. College previously located in Coopersburg, PA.  Jones's stories have appeared in The Morning Call, Lehigh Valley Women’s Magazine and a variety other publications.  She has been writing professionally for 17 years.

Remember, the person who comments on the most posts on my blog tour will win a copy of the three books that come before No Bells . No Sanctuary is the story of two ministers, two churches, two wives and one murder. Officer Stacey Wilbur and Detective Doug Milligan are a couple in this one despite Stacey's vow not to date anyone on the Rocky Bluff P.D.

When Detective Doug Milligan strikes out on his own to investigate a suspect, he disappears.  A distraught Stacey follows his trail.

Meet Morgen Bailey from the UK

Like I do with many folks, I met Morgen through the Internet when I learned about the great interviews she does. I thought it would be fun to turn the tables on Morgen and find out something things about her, so here goes: Morgen, except for the fact that you do terrific interviews I know very little about you. So here goes with my battery of questions. First, tell me something about your background, including where you live. Thank you Marilyn. I live in Middle England really; Northampton. About as far away from water as you can get (3 hours) which I don’t quite understand as I love water; every picture (actually subconsciously until a friend pointed it out) in my house contains water. I’m one of two siblings, I have an older brother who’s an IT project Manager and lives in Zurich, Switzerland so I see him 2-3 times a year (birthdays, Christmas; the latter spent in my mum’s kitchen / diner with opposing laptops). My father died September 2011 so she potters while my brother an

Today is My Birthday!

I never thought I'd live this long! The last few years, birthday celebrations have usually been a nice dinner out in a restaurant. Hard to do these days. Sometimes cake and ice cream is how we celebrate. This year my granddaughter, Melissa, is doing something special. She's taking her grandpa and me to a place about 1 1/2 hours away for lunch, called The Secret Garden. I've not only never been there, but I've never heard of it. I took a peek on the Internet and it looks like a beautiful place to celebrate most anything. Yes, I'm excited. I'll take pictures and report on it when I get back. Melissa is special. Everyone loves here, young and old alike. I was in the delivery room when she was born--exciting and wonderous. I babysat her many times until her mom and dad moved to Central California. (We live there now. When she was a teen, she came with me when I took the women in my care home to church camp, and was an unbelievable help. I couldn&
