October is the month for paranormals, urban fantasy and
horror writers. Dark Dealings , in fact opens at Samhain (Halloween for the rest of you). As a result, I am a very busy girl. Last weekend, I was signing
books at the Zombie Walk in Asbury Park (check out the Facebook page and plan
for next year) http://www.facebook.com/njzombiewalk?fref=ts.
For me the best use of a busy month is to give back. Since before I published, I have received
tremendous support from indie musicians. I believe it is because we get each
other and have or are travelling similar paths. We have a passion for our
respective art, a desire to be the best we can be and to bring our work to
others. We appreciate that being indie brings both more work and more freedom
at the same time.
So, for the entire month of October, I will be donating 50%
of my royalties from any sale (eBook or print) from any platform (Kindle, Nook,
Kobo or Smashwords) or at my signings to
Musicians on a Mission (MOAM) is a network of musicians who
have joined forces to make a difference to the most needy in our area. We are
passionate about supporting local musicians and local charities. Over the past
22 months, we have raised over $7,000 and hundreds of pounds of food for
thirteen local charities, while creating opportunities for local musicians to
make a difference through their music. The charities range from homeless
shelters to food pantries, and have included Coastal Habitat for Humanity,
Family Promise, and Move for Hunger among others. All of the charities are
listed on the "giving" page of our website www.musiciansonamission.org.

Even if you do
not live in New Jersey, you can appreciate the terrific work they do. So make
it a double win: purchase a great Halloween read and support a wonderful group
of musicians whose motto is
Making Music, Making a Difference.
