Nothing But Red
Dionne has an important post up on It's Not Chick Porn. Go read it; I'll wait.
Good cause, right? I support this antho 100%. I'll be writing a short story for it, but that's not all I'm doing. I received a wonderful fan letter about my fantasy novel, Stone Maiden. This reader wanted to know if there was any way she could get the book in print because she loves it so much and she has read it over and over. Since the book is out of print, and I can do whatever the heck I like with it, I promptly went to Lulu and set it up so she could, in fact, get the book in print. I set the price low because I just wanted to hook up a fan.
So this is what I'm going to do. In addition to the short story I'm writing for this initiative, I'm also putting the Stone Maiden link here. I set it so I only make $1 for each copy sold. Each copy ya'll buy, I'm donating the $1 I earn to Equality Now to dovetail with the Nothing But Red antho. So for your money you get a fantasy novel and make a contribution to a better world.
It just doesn't get sweeter than that, does it?

"Muir: Her quiet strength, loyalty, willingness to sacrifice and
absolute faith make her a wonderful heroine. Watching her develop and
grow from being totally subservient until she is, for all intents and
purposes, the most powerful and important person in two societies, is a beautifully told story. I love the way you portrayed her transition from being a totally subservient woman to one who is powerful and in control yet chooses to give and sacrifice without diminishing her strength and
power in any way. She is a remarkable character."
Of the book in general, she said:
"You have written a wonderful tale of opposites and love, sacrifice and obligation, loyalty and faith, the ability to be giving and it not diminishing your power, and add in a little political intrigue too. Your character development is excellent. I felt like I really knew all the characters. I hate to
sound all gushy, but I just love this story. I am a voracious reader and there are only a handful of books that have grabbed me like this one."
