Local Author Releases Second Novel

Pilossoph, whose father survived lung cancer, decided to donate partial proceeds from the evening to the , which strives to improve lung cancer survival rates, ensure a higher quality of life for lung cancer patients and provide a community for those impacted by lung cancer. Several vendors joined Pilossoph for the event raising money for the organization.
