Parkinson's Patient Donates Book Proceeds to PD Charities

Bill Schmalfeldt thought his story was worth telling. After being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2000, having experimental deep brain stimulation surgery in 2007, Bill wrote a manuscript about the experience. Not only could he not find a literary agent willing to even look at it, publishers rejected it without even reading sample chapters. Believing the story needed to be told, Bill dug into his own pockets and took the self-publishing route.
