Ellen Siska Email & Phone Number

Professional writer/editor seeking to expand my work in freelance writing. My goals have changed since my diagnosis of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in July 2010. While I'd still like to write a book, it will certainly include things I had no knowledge of when I initially wrote up my profile -- "to write a book on my experiences with my son's death due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome; my daughter's bout with bacterial meningitis at the age of 13 months and subsequent deafness; the cochlear implant she had surgically inserted in Charlotte, N.C., at the age of 5; my oldest son's Asperger Syndrome; my dad's Alzheimer's; and some other very interesting turns of life I've come through, including the excitement of covering NASCAR for the York Dispatch.."I 'm still trying to approach it all with an attitude of gratitude :-)Specialties: NASCAR and other motorsports, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, death and dying, bereavement, parental grief, hearing loss, cochlear implants, Deaf culture, Asperger Syndrome, AML leukemia
