Special fundraiser- buy an ebook, help a cause
Beloved SF writer Spider Robinson’s wife Jeanne has cancer, and the community is moving together to help them pay the medical bills. 100% of any money used to purchase Larry Santoro’s excellent e-book, “Lord Dickens’s Declaration,” will go directly to the Robinsons. (More information at the link.)
Dec 31st is the last day that people can buy Larry’s story. Today there’s a big push to drive the fundraiser: why December 30th? Because if there’s only one day left people won’t put it off and say, “I’ll do it later. I still have time,” it’s that.
If you’ve got a blog, please spread the word. Tell your friends that are into speculative fiction ahead of time and ask them to blog as well. One last big push to help some good people in a bad situation.

Danielle, check the link above. I’m not running the fundraiser, just spreading the word. Thanks!

The e-book is a .pdf file. A pretty generic type of file, but I know not every reader plays well with it. Your results may vary.
Thanks for helping to spread the word, Mur!

Thank you for spreading the word. Spider is one of my favorite authors, and by his writings people, in this world. I hate to see him have to go through this, and I feel worse for Jeanne.
Everyone PLEASE follow that link. Good people need our help.

Any chance of extending this promotion/fundraiser? I just read about the book for the first time today and I’d be interested in helping the cause.
