On our Five for Friday episode on September 29, we featured a new book called Living With Dying by Jahnna Beecham & Katie Ortlip.  We were so impressed by the book that we encouraged our listeners to buy the book.  Something we have never done.  

Now, we'd like to introduce you to the authors, Jahnna (prounounced, Yana) & Katie.  Jahnna is a writer/editor for National Geographic, and has written over 130 books for juveniles and young adults.  Katie is a nurse and social worker, and has been working in hospice for over 25 years.  Their book was written during the time that Jahnna's father was on hospice, and Jahnna was his caregiver, and Katie served as their social worker.  

Jahnna & Katie are a delightful duo, and have been friends for over 20 years.  You will enjoy listening to how they met, and the behind the scenes stories of writing their book.
