I know. This is the contest page. Why am I about to clutter it up with news of a charity gig?
Because there’s a contest involved.
During the months of November and December 2010, I’ll be donating AT LEAST 50% of my reported royalties to the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation. This is to coincide with ShapeShifter’s Musical Hanukkah Celebration, set for December 6 this year.
I have lined up prizes for a raffle for anyone who donates directly to the Foundation via the donation link I’ve set up, as well. Send me your receipt and you’ll be entered. Click here for a list of what’s being offered.
Be sure to keep an eye on The Meet and Greet at West of Mars for new fiction about this year’s Musical Hanukkah Celebration, as well as flashback links to the older stuff. Just in case you missed it, or need to be reminded of how much fun this time of year is.
Ready? Need a book or two? Use this link!
Need some extra enticement? Having trouble finding a print copy of Trevor’s Song?
Because I had to raise the price on the print edition to an ungodly $17.98 at Lulu (in order to make less than a dollar in royalties on Amazon sales — even though Amazon won’t carry the book!), if you order a copy of Trevor’s Song directly from me, I’ll only charge you $13, which is the price I’d been hoping to charge. I have shipping worked out for most areas around the world, so take advantage of the $5 price cut, why don’tcha?
Here’s the official press release. Go on and grab it and post it on your own site. Hand out flyers. Do whatever it takes. It’s not about selling books so much as it’s about helping needy kids.
If you haven’t been over to Win a Book yet (or submitted links of your own), you’re missing out on quite a listing of giveaways, guest blog posts by authors (some you’ve heard of and some you haven’t) and other ways to connect yourself with new books. Come join us over there, why don’t you?
