Book Presentation and Signing with Rosie
On Friday, January 27th at 2:00pm at the Yacht Club. Rosie is a Ventana Lakes resident and would love for all her neighbors and friends to attend. Coffee and cookies for your enjoyment. Please call the Office at 623-566-6001 to sign up.

“Keep Dancing” is used here as a metaphor for how a couple continued to live, laugh, work, and enjoy the new life they created for themselves after the loss of all three of their sons.  This book takes you through their childhood, dating, marriage, having three sons and then losing those three sons due to an inherited Kidney Disease and complications from Aids. The Author is hoping to encourage others who lose loved ones not to give up on life but to move forward to enjoy and celebrate the loved one’s life and look forward to someday being reunited with those loved ones who have passed on.

Sun City, AZ, October 03, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Keep Dancing: Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here, we might as well dance by Rosie Giesie. The author's most recent book to date is a 6 x 9 paperback in the self-help, death, grief and bereavement category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/keepdancing was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
