My first book reading ever will be at Florey's Book Co. in Pacifica on March 19, 2-4pm

I am so excited to announce that I will be holding my first book reading for my new book, Cancer on my Mind, at Florey's Book Co. Florey's Book Co., 2120 Palmetto Ave. Pacifica, CA 94044 (650) 355-8811 in Pacifica, California. I will be reading my part, a newly diagnosed brain tumor survivor, undergoing cancer diagnosis, brain surgery, radiation and chemotherapy treatments, and all of the emotional and mental activities that occur.

If you have not read Cancer on my Mind, the book is unique to any brain tumor or cancer survivor book, because it contains a talking brain tumor (in italicized font in the book), whose mission is to kill me.

I will have a person, yet to be selected, read the talking tumor dialogue at the book read at Florey's Book Co.

My front page book summary states:

"Cancer on my Mind, by Walter Kornichuk, is atypical among non-fiction brain tumor survivor books because it is narrated by a talking tumor that I battle for my survival. Applying a cancer patient versus brain tumor (man against himself) approach to surviving a brain tumor enabled me to learn about my enemy, apply a “never give up attitude” to try to defeat it, and provide insight into what a cancer patient deals with mentally and physically. The book is unique and worthwhile because the tumor dialogue is outrageously funny, bringing humor to a life-and-death struggle that has touched the lives of many Americans."

Thank you for your support.

First book signing ever for Cancer on my Mind at SFO

I received an email from my CNBC store contact about scheduling a book signing at a CNBC store in the near future. After a month of emailing and calling people, I am happy that my first book signing will be at the place I have worked at for eight years, SFO. I will keep everyone posted on the place and date of the pending book signing.

Yippie! A book reading offer

I received an email from a prominent San Francisco book store to do a reading of my book in March 2011. The book store also suggested that I could sell my book on consignment at the book store. I am sending out an email tomorrow and to jinx my chances of landing the book reading, I will reveal the book store after i receive a date of my book reading.

Book reading venues update

I called 15 book stores in the Bay Area and received five email addresses to send inquires to. I was surprised to hear from eight book stores that they no longer hold book readings anymore.

I had a great editing session with Jesse this weekend to complete and construct three videos for my web site, cancer on my mind.com, a music video, a 60 second book trailer, and a three question Q&A short video. I will be posting these videos on my Facebook page and

Book reading venues

I have started my search for bookstores or coffee shops to conduct a book reading of Cancer on my Mind in San Francisco, Marin County, the North, East and South Bays. I have 5 email addresses so far and will not stop my search until I get enough readings to support my cause...never give up if you are diagnosed with cancer!

Cancer on my Mind book update

Happy New Year to all!

I am predicting a successful year for my newly published book, as of December 2010.

My book promotion list of to-do-things is almost done.

Jesse and I are a few weeks away from completing the music video, promotional video, and book trailer video.

The web site, cancer on my mind, is available at http://canceronmymind.com/Cancer_On_My_Mind/Home.html

The site was constructed and designed in two months by Eric McCracken at http://www.eisforeric.com/

He generously designed the entire web site, including the creaking web site flash movie of the "top of my head opening up, with the title of my book, Cancer on my Mind rising up in a column".

I am looking for a SF book store to hold a book signing of my book.

Thank you for your support of my book.
