Indie Author Relief Fund


Indie Author Relief Fund

Today I want to spotlight the Indie Authors Relief Fund, where indie- and self-published authors have joined forces to raise money for those in need. Started by Kristie Cook, and Ang'dora Productions, we started the fund after the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan. Our first project is to raise money for the victims of this crisis. All proceeds will be donated to Red Cross International.

We've been hosting auctions with goods and services donated by indie authors. You can get some really awesome bookish items while helping the people of Japan. It's a win for everyone and don't we all need a little goodness in our lives right now?

I'm pleased to announce that my books & character name for book #3 (Onyx Talisman) and blog redesign went for a nice chuck of change! Thanks Rachel and Calum!

There's a few more things available until Thursday at midnight! Check it out! http://indieauthorsrelieffund.blogspot.com/

Thank you for visiting! Please help us spread the word.

Stylish Blogger Award

J. Rose Allister, romance author, nominated me with a very cool award and I'm finally getting around to posting the post.

Here are the rules for this award:

1) Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award.
http://jroseallister.blogspot.com/

2) Share 7 things about yourself.

3) Award recently discovered great bloggers, up to 15.

4) Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award!

SEVEN THINGS ABOUT ME:

1. I never aspired to be a writer. Only after my oldest's Autism Spectrum disorder diagnosis did I search for something to do to preoccupy my mind during the following depressing.

2. I sniff my kids' neck and heads everyday, several times a day.

3. I always wanted to be a mermaid.

4. I am a geek and like geeky things.

5. Sometimes my birthday lands on Thanksgiving which is my favorite holiday.

6. I won't swim alone in a pool. I'm terrified of Jaws and have an overactive imagination.

7. I met my husband on a cruise. We've been married 9 years. He's my soul-mate.

I stalk these blogs:
