Aug 22, 2011: Bastard, of
SFFWorld and Goodreads fame, has started his own blog ( Bastard Books and other crap) where he discusses his reactions to the unbelievably massive number of books he reads, on a regular basis. In the middle of his superhuman feat, he has deigned my books worthy of his literary palate. Stop by to see what he has to say about my writing.

Aug 20, 2011: I wouldn't normally ask for anything like this, but this is one of those cases where I can't help but do anything I can to help. I know times are hard, I'm there myself, but I ask, only if you're able, to help as well.

A family I know has found themselves in a desperate spot in life...again, due to no fault of their own. Their three year-old daughter, Sidney, is suffering from Leukemia for the third time in her short life. She has already undergone a bone marrow transplant and been cleared only to have the disease return. She needs another transplant and after all the medical care they've provided already, they are not able to afford the treatment Sidney needs.



An event has been set up on Facebook to help awareness. Spread the link around as much as you feel comfortable doing. Sidney's Help Fund.

Again, I ask for your help in this special case. Please give if you can, and only as much as you can, by clicking on the following link: For Sidney.

Thank you for anything you can do.
