Multiple Sclerosis No Hindrance to Hero of Hurricane Jane, Published by Outskirts Press

The author's most recent book to date is a 5.5 x 8.5 paperback in the family life fiction category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/GaryTurcottehurricanejane was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
Veteran author Gary Turcotte writes the following about Hurricane Jane, the eleventh book he’s published with Outskirts Press:
“The most powerful memories of my life were the teenage years that I spent with my brother Bruce.
He was my mother’s favorite son. He was born with multiple sclerosis (MS). I used to take him swimming almost everyday and being weightless in the water made him feel powerful and normal.
He fought his disease and other than tiring easily he was just like any other teen. Since we were excellent swimmers, and always at the pool, we were offered a chance to fill in as lifeguards at the beach. It was a great summer with a large crowd and plenty of sunshine. My brother was healthy and happy. He felt strong, and his disease was not hindering his life.
He never felt sorry for himself and he never asked for pity. He was light hearted and good natured. He was older than I was. Physically I was the big brother, but mentally and emotionally he was a much bigger person.
Bruce taught me how to appreciate life and accept who I am with my limited abilities and to be grateful.”
277 pages in length, Hurricane Jane: Burial at Sea is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the family life fiction category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Hurricane Jane meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $16.95.
Additionally, Hurricane Jane can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.

About the author:
Gary Turcotte says this abut his work: “Sometimes I’m surprised by the books that I have written. I’ve resisted writing a few of them, especially my book Iron Stan. I put them aside in my mind, but they resurfaced until I got them on paper. I cringe when I think that my mother or priest might read them, but you can’t make everyone happy all of the time. It’s only fiction.”
