Update on tornado relief efforts

In yesterday's post, I told you about my awesome Crime Fiction Collective blog partners Judy Borger, Drew Kaufman and L.J. Sellers who are donating 100% of the royalties received through the end of May to a family from Joplin, MO.

Today, I can tell you that the the funds will go to Francisco and Natasha Rodriguez and their children Zion and Adriana. Natasha is pictured here with the kids.

They plan to share the money with other family members Jose, Sabrola, and Fabian Ramirez, who lost their home, cars, and workplace.

Here's a list of the participating authors with links to Amazon:

Drew’s bestselling title: While the Savage Sleeps

L.J.’s bestselling Detective Jackson mysteries:
The Sex Club
Secrets to Die For
Thrilled to Death
Passions of the Dead
Dying for Justice
and standalone thrillers:
The Baby Thief
The Suicide Effect

Judy’s Skeeter Hughes mysteries:
Where’s Billie?
Whose Hand?

Author C.J. West has joined in, and will donate 100% of the royalties from the sales of his e-books:
The End of Marking Time
Taking Stock
Sin and Vengeance
A Demon Awaits
Gretchen Green

I realize that you may be financially unable to participate, but it would be very helpful if you could spread the word about these generous authors.

Buy a book, help a family in Joplin

The amazing authors who belong to the Crime Fiction Collective are putting their money where their words are to help a family in the tornado-ravaged town of Joplin, MO.  

Andrew Kaufman is donating 100% of the ebook and paperback royalties from While the Savage Sleeps to help a family affected by this horrible tragedy.  L.J Sellers is donating 100% of the royalties from her Detective Jackson series, and Judith Yates Borger is pledging 25% of the sales from her Skeeter Hughes series.  

I don't have any royalties to donate, so I'm doing my part by exhorting my readers to purchase a book (or two) from one of my awesome blog partners.

Thank you!
