I believe in giving back. In this economic climate, it is very difficult to find extra funds to donate to deserving charities. It would be ideal if our tax money could be designated for charitable purposes to help our society, but, unfortunately, that is not the way it is. Because I am fortunate enough to be able to write, I am pledging ten percent of the profit from each book sold to charity. I am choosing charities that deal with problems related to the stories I write.
For Tourist Trap, I am pledging to donate ten percent of the profit from each book to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness).
