Coming soon from eFitzgerald... available in print and in eformat

Hello and welcome to our book's blog. How David Met Sarah is the story of a young man with Down Syndrome who falls in love with a young woman with autism. What makes How David Met Sarah different from any of my previous work is that I wrote the book for my youngest brother. He is 36 and has Down Syndrome.
I wrote How David Met Sarah with two goals in mind: to give my brother a story he could read and enjoy on his own, as well as one that had a hero with which he could identify. Like the main character in the story, my brother lives at home with his parents, works in a mail room and has even been in love.
I didn't intend to publish the story at first. My brother loved the initial chapters, and that was enough to encourage me to complete it. But one day I needed a sample manuscript to use at a writing workshop. The only work in progress I had to share was this one. I used the opening chapters in the workshop, and the response was so positive, I was encouraged to share the story with everyone.
How David Met Sarah is a story that is not only accessible to those with developmental disabilities, but also offers insight into what it's like to live with such a disability. My brother and I hope everyone enjoys it. Thanks for stopping by....Annie Kelleher (and David Kelly)

Save the date, spread the word, see you there?

Join us for an evening celebrating both print and e-versions of How David Met Sarah...in historic Thomaston, CT.  Meet the "real" David, Mother and Pop, have your book signed (by both of us :) ) try delicious holiday treats from Passiflora Tea Shop and tour the amazing art-space now claimed by the Phoenix Rising Art Center.  Just a couple turns off Route 8, it's easy to find from just about anywhere. 

20% from the sale of both editions will go to the National Down Syndrome Society to assist with the needs of developmentally disabled adults. 

David is shining up his dancing shoes and I hope you will put it on your calendar now!
