English-born Maureen Bashaw, a long time resident and retired Fort Myers News-Press drama critic and feature writer, has published her fist novel, Killerscent. In the novel, set in her beloved Southwest Florida, Bashaw creates a protagonist whose traits and instincts she knows all too well.  He is a young man with autism spectrum disorder.  The author is the mother of a now adult son with autism.

She and her late husband, Richard, formed a support group for parents of children with autism when their son was six years old. That was 29 years ago when there were no classes for children with autism in Southwest Florida schools, when most people here had never heard of autism. Eventually, this support group evolved into the Adonis Autism Assistance Foundation. Bashaw is co-founder of the Adonis Autism Assistance Foundation (AAAF). A portion of the book’s sales will be donated to the Foundation.

The Foundation enhances the quality of life for people living with autism by providing resources, activities, information, advocacy and support to those who love someone living with autism. AAAF also provides financial assistance grants to fund autism related expenses for children and adults meeting the necessary criteria.

Killerscent is available for purchase through Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
