Gracefully-Yours greeting cards present Andrea Cagan discussing her newest book-MEMOIRS OF A GHOST.

Andrea Cagan has ghostwritten for Diana Ross, Kenny Loggins, Magic Johnson, Joan Lunden and Grace Slick. Memoirs of a Ghost, she has emerged from the shadows to write her own story, exposing the secretive, fascinating world of ghostwriting, intertwined with her own extraordinary life experiences throughout significant historical eras. The professional ballerina, author, researcher, and world traveler has had a life every bit as amazing as that of her most interesting client. Her work has resulted in multiple best sellers over the years. 

This book introduces the reader to a kinder, gentler way of writing. While Cagan covers the basics of writing in its practical application, she is far more focused on the source of the material, the heartfelt emotions that inspire a writer to dig deep and tell the truth on the page. With her anecdotes from her own writing work over the years, Cagan encourages writers everywhere to change the muse from an angry, demanding ogre to an encouraging fairy godmother. Writers must be alchemists, creating something out of nothing. The thrust of this book is to help writers write, not with stress and fear, but rather with ease and enthusiasm.

Andrea's work includes:

Ghost writing celebrity bios and self-help booksCoaching clients how to organize their ideasAnalyzing and editing manuscriptsPersonal books and blogs

She inspires people to start, write, and finish their books, which may include cheer leading, editing, and collaborating. I choose my clients and projects according to rapport, vision, and social value.

Gracefully-Yours greeting cards presents Life Lessons pays tribute to General Hal Moore. We celebrate a great American hero in General Hal Moore.

Finola Hughes has been a popular daytime TV actress for the last 30 years. Hughes’ long and successful acting career includes over 19 films, including Stayin’ Alive, and 30 different television shows. She is also recognized for originating the role of Victoria the White Cat in the original West End London production of Cats, a show just revived on Broadway in 2016.

Now Hughes is taking on a new role: raising awareness for a group of rare, chronic and under-recognized blood cancers called Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (or MPNs). Through a new development in the character she portrays, Hughes has a unique and timely opportunity to bring national attention and inspire those impacted—patients and caregivers alike—to be their own health advocates. MPNs can often be difficult to diagnose, which can greatly impact the lives of patients and their families – making increased awareness, education and support critically important.

Actress Finola Hughes – who has a personal connection to cancer – will be available to share behind-the-scenes insights into preparing for her role as a patient impacted by an MPN. Hughes will be joined by Ellen Ritchie, MD, Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College, an expert in the field of MPNs, who can educate patients and their families with information to help cope with a rare blood cancer diagnosis.
