If you don't help...who will?

Some of us may not really know much about the Philippines. But the reality is that a lot of people are in a bad way right now. Those of you who felt Hurricane Sandy, or endured the horrific disaster that was Katrina know all to well just how bad of a mood Mother Nature can get into.

I am not going to hit you over the head with pictures of children sitting in front of the ruins of their homes...you can see that on the news. What I am going to do is give you an exponential amount of "stuff" if you spend $3.99 on a box set of books that contain 13 stories from an amazing assortment of authors. You get some very chilling stuff while helping take the chill away and maybe putting some warm food in a belly or two.
Look at all that horror goodness just waiting!

Th Grim Winter Box Set is $3.99 on Amazon. If you purchase it, not only will EVERY penny of the proceeds be matched by May December Publications, but an anonymous donor has also agreed to match the total as well in a donation to Red Cross. Also, my share of the royalties (as well as that from some of the other authors in the collection) will be added to that final check.

As an added bonus, every single review written (with the Verified Amazon Purchase tag) will receive a code from me good for the audio book version of DEAD: The Ugly Beginning as soon as it is released. Now, since I can only give these Audible codes to US customers, I will offer any ebook title that I have written to the wonderful folks outside of the United States in lieu of an audio book. The only thing I need is for the reviewer to send me an email at twbrown.maydecpub@gmail.com so I know where to send their prize.

So, in a nutshell...you spend $3.99 and Red Cross gets almost $10. You write a review, and you get a freebie that can be worth as much as $25! If you can show me the down side to that...I don't think I want to know you because you are a serious downer.

    1. The only thing that comes to mind is to get the word out to any of your friends who read. They may not LOVE horror, but tell them it is like junk food...probably not good for them, but VERY fulfilling. :-)

    1. Tanks, Leesa, and yes, that anonymous person is one of my favorite people. That individual always steps in, but never wants the accolades, the sign of a person with an amazing heart.

      And thank you for taking part.

    1. Thank you Cathy. I know that every single bit is going to mean something to all those poor people who have had their lives ripped open and laid bare to the nerve.

    1. Absolutely, and I am still having a hard time believing it myself. So far, the highlight of my career was the day one of my books actually sat above Stephen King's "The Stand"! I think you might get a real kick out of my "That Ghoul Ava" series. If you do the audio book thing, send me an email twbrown.maydecpub@gmail.com, I have a couple of promo copies left in my "giveaway box".

      Hope all is well with you.

  7. Just bought my set--and tweeted about it too! This is a great idea! Good on you, Todd and the other authors and publisher and anonymous. I also love that these are horror stories helping with a real horror far more horrifying than fiction could ever be.

  8. Am I the only review on the Amazon site so far? O.O If I had known I totally would've typed a P.S. FIRST! on it.

  9. What you are doing is wonderful, Todd, you have a big heart. We all want to help in any way we can. Love and Peace to you all - and to all those poor people hit by Mother Nature's wrath.
