Royalties to Remind.Org
Now that 2011 is over, I’m making good on my promise to donate all of my ebook royalties for my crime novel The Last Horseman to Remind.Org.
Remind.Org is dedicated to helping our returning soldiers in a variety of ways. Some are physical, others emotional or mental. It is a worthwhile organization that serves a worthy cause.
You can read more about my decision to support them here.
The grand total for 2011 ebook royalties for The Last Horseman was $141.22. I sent Remind.Org the money today, via their website.
I know, it isn’t exactly earth-shattering, but it is a start.
Another classy touch that Remind.Org does is allow you to donate in honor of or in memory of a soldier. I decided that my donation this year would be in memory of Staff Sergeant David Biehl. David is the son of a personal friend of mine, his mother. She introduced him to my books and he was an enthusiastic reader. David served two tours in Iraq.Whenever I think of him, I remember how much his mother talked about the patriotic passion he had for serving in the U.S. Army. I am also reminded of how serving one’s nation during wartime brings with it a psychological cost for those who have served. Sometimes the effects of combat linger long after the danger to life and limb has passed.
How can you help our returning warriors? Well, you can certainly donate directly to Remind.OrgThere is a massive body of scientific research supporting it. viagra sample india But none of them sample viagra pills were as effective as Forzest. It has a powerful constituent, Sildenafil Citrate generic cialis uk that is the proven parent chemical that works best by boosting the sexual potential to the great extent.

I plan to once again donate all of 2012’s ebook royalties for The Last Horseman, so if you want to read an action-packed novel set in Spokane and see 100% of the royalties go to Remind.Org, you can buy a copy. Or give one as a gift. Or get a friend to buy a copy. Or just spread the word. The book is available through any ebook outlet (Amazon, B&N;, etc.).
If you’re reading this and you are a fellow writer, then I would ask you to consider doing the same thing I’ve done here with one of your titles, even if you do it for just one month out of the year. If you accept this challenge, please comment on this blog post.
No matter how we do it, come January 2012, I’d love to move the decimal point one space to the right. But I’d be just as happy to know that people sent money directly to Remind.Org.
Here’s what The Last Horseman is about: Sandy Banks is the last of The Four Horsemen, a vigilante group of ex-cops determined to right the injustices of a broken court system. But now the project is disintegrating, putting him in the middle of chaos. Betrayed by his final partner, blackmailed by the project head and pursued by federal agents bent on busting the case wide open, Sandy scrambles to escape this mayhem with his soul intact.
Have a safe and happy 2012, folks. And please take a moment (often) to think about the men and women who serve our nation, endure great danger and carry heavy burdens, all in support of our continued freedom.
