Happy Valentine's Day!!! I hope everyone gets to spend some awesome quality time with your loved ones today.
I
don't normally celebrate V-day myself, because of all the materialistic
attitudes about the day, however, I do usually find a way to celebrate
it in my own way. This year, I've adopted a new tradition. One that I hope
you'll help me with.
I've scoured the Internet looking and finally
finding a charity that I really believe in and I'm donating the money
I would have spent on materialistic things, to them.
It's the Ian Somerhalder Foundation or ISF. More info. can be found out about them at here.
In
honor of spreading the love, I'm also asking for your help (with
incentive, of course. ;P). If you make a donation, ANY amount, please
email me ( j.souders (at) jasouders (dot) com ) the address on my
website and let me know.
At the end of the month, I'll take the
list of names and enter them into a contest to win a box full of books
(including signed copies of my own and my favorite authors), a query and
50-page critique (if you're a writer), and a gift card for even more
books. (Depending on how popular this is, I'll add in more prizes and
possibly do a Grand prize, 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place award.)
Every
single person that makes a donation (and lets me know) will also have special mention in
my next e-short in the Elysium Chronicles and exclusive SWAG sent to
them as a special thank you from me for helping me support my favorite
charity.
