This post is a blatant appeal to bid on a copy of Darkspire Reaches to help the people of the Philippines.  These sunny and hardworking people have a horrendous situation facing them. My publishers, Kristell Ink, have donated a package of eight books, including mine, to help raise money. A book critique is also offered in this package from Kristell Ink writer, Joanne Hall.  The auction lot is # 106.

I know xmas and American Thanksgiving are coming up, but these people have lost everything, including family members. So little would mean so much. http://authorsforphilippines.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/106-fantasysf-manuscript-critique-by-joanne-hall-kristell-ink-books/
