ELEVATOR PITCH
When Karen Magill woke to find herself partially paralyzed on one side of her body, she began a journey filled with twists and turns. From the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis to becoming an award-winning novelist, On The Right Side shows that a crisis can be a blessing.
AUTHOR BIO
Forced to leave the workforce in 2000 by the
onslaught of MS, Karen saw this as an opportunity to explore her lifelong
desire to write. In February of 2014, Karen independently published an
inspiring story of her journey so far with MS entitled On The Right Side, My Story of Survival and Success.
Ms. Magill believes that anything is possible
and when she writes fiction, she leans towards the paranormal. She writes about
extrasensory powers as if they are commonplace because, in her mind, we are all
capable of those gifts.
To date, Ms. Magill is the author of four
published paranormal novels, including the award winning The Bond, A Paranormal Love Story.
Karen lives in an eclectic area of Vancouver Canada
and draws inspiration from the history and stories around her.

EXCERPT
Introduction
I started to
keep a journal after I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I did that for
the first couple of years just so I would remember what that time in my life
was like. And so that, maybe, one day I would write a book on it. Well, the day to write that book is here.
I tried to
write this book years ago but the time wasn’t right. Perhaps I didn’t feel I
had accomplished enough to make my story worth reading. Or maybe it was because
the emotions I recalled when reading and remembering were just too painful to
relive. I know that as I write this book thirteen years after my major MS
attack, I find tears near the surface and I have to take breaks from writing so
that I don’t break down completely. The story you are about to read comes from
my MS journal, my regular journal and my memory.
My philosophy
is that as long as we aren’t six feet under and are on the right side of the
ground, there is hope. We can make positive changes in our life, no matter
where we are right now and what challenges face us. On The
Right Side, My Story of Survival and Success is not a book to tell you how
to live your life. Deep down, you know how to do that, you have the strength to
survive and flourish. I am going to give you my opinion on life events and tell
you how I managed to get where I am today.
Maybe it will help you. Maybe it won’t. At the least, this could be an
entertaining story for you.
This book is
a blend of what I went through – and am still going through – how I deal with
it and my views on matters that affect our society today. I am not an expert,
just a person who is going through a difficult time and is learning as I go.
Events unfold the way I remember them and some of the names have been changed.
So grab a
cuppa of whatever you like, sit back and read on. Welcome to my journey.
