I am surprised. I’ve been teaching workshops for library staff for almost ten years and I didn’t see this coming. An organization that I often work for asked me if I’d like to have them get a copy of my book into every library in my state. I said Yes! So part of my donations will go to libraries, as I’m also comitted to giving the book to hospitals–especially those with a NICU–and literary organizations that serve families who want books but can’t afford them. All I have to do is to deliver about 150-180 books (once they arrive) and they’ll ship them out. Now that is a gift and a wonderful example of how one thing (I said I’d give away half my print run) leads to another (their generosity.) Thanks to all who have already pledged to my campaign. It means so much!
