    An Oath Taken, by Diana Cosby
    An Oath Taken
    by Diana Cosby

    Diana Cosby combines her passion for writing and charity work
    to help our troops with the release of An Oath Taken, the first book in The Oath
    Series.

    Many of you know that I love volunteering
    my time and energy in helping to make a positive difference in others’ lives. As
    a military brat, a retired Navy Chief, a former military wife, and a mom of three
    children who have served in the military—two in the Marines and one in the Army,
    all who have served in Afghanistan—I understand the demands on members of the military
    and the impact on their families.
    Upon return from combat duty, many
    Veterans face challenges including depression, PTSD, survivor’s guilt, suicidal
    thoughts, brain injury, as well as physical issues incurred during deployment. I
    wanted to do something that would make a difference and help these Veterans. So,
    I will be donating 100% of my proceeds from the first week of sales of An Oath Taken (8 December
    2014 – 14 December 2014) to veterans’ charities and causes that support military
    service members and their families.

    A Matching Donation

    I shared my idea with my editor, and
    then asked if she could notify me of my royalties after the first week of sales
    for An Oath Taken. My editor’s response brought tears to my eyes. Kensington Publishing
    Corp. would gladly do as I asked — and make a matching donation.
    I’m awed by my publisher’s generosity, more so that I know the money raised will
    go toward making a positive difference in military members’ lives.
    It’s hard to deploy and leave ones
    family, friends, and miss the holidays, more so for those who are placed in harm’s
    way. But, it’s also a tremendous challenge for the family members left at home wondering
    every single day if their loved one is alive. And when the family is reunited with
    their soldier after a dangerous tour of duty, regular family difficulties may seem
    overwhelming. Many military families need support to stay strong as their soldier
    receives proper treatment, which is one of the functions of the military charities
    I support.
    Education, proper diagnosis, and treatment
    are the key to good physical and mental health. I sincerely hope that my 100% donation
    from my first week of sales of An Oath Taken, combined with my publishers matching
    contribution, can help returning Veterans as they continue their on-going fight
    in overcoming personal battles on the home front.
    Thank you all for your time, and may
    God bless our troops and their families!
    Sincerely,
    Diana Cosby
