Hurricane Volunteer Offers Free Katrina e-Book to Benefit Red Cross

Cleveland, OH—Ever wonder what it would be like to volunteer in a national disaster? Now you can find out with a new book by a first-time American Red Cross (ARC) volunteer Timothy H. Warneka. The only book of its kind, Healing Katrina: The Red Cross, Southern Mississippi & Me provides an inside look into the world of disaster relief through the eyes of one of the 233,768 people who volunteered with the Red Cross in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. In honor of the first year anniversary of Katrina, Warneka is offering a free e-book of Healing Katrina at http://www.asogomi.com to anyone who makes a donation to the Red Cross in lieu of payment.

The book, described as “…a moving account,” by Margit Cruice, a family coach from Brisbane, Australia, provides a never-before-seen day-to-day glimpse into life on the front-lines in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. “I want to share my words and pictures of what I saw along the Mississippi coastline,” said the book’s author, president of The Black Belt Consulting Group, a leadership coaching & consulting firm in Cleveland, Ohio.

“I was touched by the emotional honesty in this book,” says Kate Caldwell, a gerontologist and founder of ElderTree Care Management Services in Sterling, Virginia. Warneka, author of the internationally-acclaimed Leading People the Black Belt Way: Conquering the Five Core Problems Facing Leaders Today said that Healing Katrina took him much longer to write than he thought it would. “The emotional impact of my experience in Mississippi was very strong,” said Warneka. “I found writing Healing Katrina to be far more draining than I thought it would.”
