Hi everyone! I have a bit of a favor to ask. My hometown Asheville, NC was horrifically flooded by Hurricane Fred last night. The entire WNC area has been devastated. Roads are gone, people are missing, entire farms washed away. It's a catastrophic loss. Asheville has a huge tourist economy but the rest of WNC is blue collar workers and farmers -- salt of the earth people who have lived in those mountains for generations. They're the kind of people who do their best with what they have, but right now they have nothing. I'm a writer by trade, and have published 6 books so far in my career (3 under my name, 3 under my pen name). To help raise money for those affected by this tragedy, I'm donating half of my book sales from now until the end of September to Appalachians 4 Appalachia - a grass roots organization based in Kentucky that is lending a huge hand to the people of my town. If you're interested in my work, want to support this cause, or just want something to read, please consider buying one of my books (I'll post the links below). And if you've got a full bookshelf or just want to help, here's the link to donate directly: bit.ly/wncfloodrelief If you can, spare a kind thought or prayer if that's your kinda thing. There are a lot of people who could use them right now. https://www.amazon.com/Children-Lilith-Lauren-Devora-ebook/dp/B01IMB63RM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=FFE7AX55YLT5&dchild=1&keywords=children+of+lilith&qid=1629339631&s=digital-text&sprefix=children+of+lilith+%2Caps%2C184&sr=1-1 https://www.amazon.com/Bloody-Sunrise-Zombie-Apocalypse-Romance-ebook/dp/B07FY3TWHL/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=bloody+sunrise&qid=1629339708&s=digital-text&sr=1-1 These are the links for the first 2 books of my 2 series. You can search my name or my pen name to see the rest of my work. Thank you for reading all this and for your support. There's a phrase where I'm from which is "lord willing and the creek don't rise..." It essentially means "we'll do our best, and with the grace of a higher power, we'll make it." Friends, the creek rose. But we'll still make it through. <3
