Cows for PoP

Quick update: we made it to 100%!  10 students educated!  Thanks everyone who helped out. 

I'm 50% of the way towards my Pencils of Promise fundraiser (that's 5 students educated!) and hoping to get to the full 100% with your help.  I've got 5 copies of Black Cow that I'm ready to personally autograph (with a big thank you) and post anywhere in the world to the first 5 people who donate to the campaign. It's tax deductable, and you'll have that warm and fuzzy feeling of having helped educate a student with every donation, plus you'll get an autographed copy of a book that author Jessica Bell called a "masterpiece which I will keep treasured on my bookshelf." There are currently more than 61 million children without access to education, but together we can do something about it.  Thanks in advance for helping me educate more readers (and don't forget to drop me a line with your postal address after you donate so I can get your book to you!)

The new Pencils of Promise campaign page is up and running! Literacy has always been the backbone of my life, and the lives of my children. Helping others achieve literacy (and therefore opening the door for choice, for a broader, more expansive future) through the proceeds from my writing -- an outcome of that literacy, which was provided to me, freely and abundantly -- makes perfect sense. Won't you join me?  If you don't already have a copy of Black Cow, you can grab one for less than $6 - an easy way to contribute (and a good read too by many accounts!). If you've already got a copy then you've already helped as I'm contributing 50% of all my sales including those past and hand sales at events (once coming up very soon - more on that in the near future). If you want do more, or join the campaign, then click here.

Let's create a ripple effect!
