I'm yielding this space today to fellow author Diane Rinella who wants to share with you her special project for some very special folks.
Love, Honor,
& Hope- A Benefit for the United States War Veteran’s PTSD Foundation
Eight authors are joining forces to support one
fantastic cause. Beginning June 24, 2014, Love,
Honor, & Hope,an anthology of eight full-length novels, will be
available for 30 days at the low price of $0.99. That’s right, just 99 pennies.
The best part is that 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the United States
War Veteran’s PTSD Foundation.
PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, affects
approximately 19% of the military men and women returning from Afghanistan and
Iraq—and that’s just those who have been diagnosed. The percentage is expected
to grow as more of our military members seek treatment. It’s a heartbreaking
trend for the men and women who sacrifice so much for our freedoms, especially
with benefits being cut and promotions being threatened.
The United States War Veteran’s PTSD Foundation is
a non-profit charity that focuses on providing FREE care to combat military
members, both active and veterans. They can’t do it alone, which is why we’ve
made the decision to step up and do something. All eight of the authors have
their personal reasons for supporting this cause.
Cherime MacFarlane, author of Heart of the Hunter said, “For me, it’s the way a very quiet man,
my uncle, receded into the background whenever a family function took place. I
did understand he came back from WWII that way. A young man, easy going and
quick to laugh became a recluse. My father also served in WWI, as did a second
uncle who returned far from the mischievous young man he was before the war
claimed his youth. I was a young mother during the Vietnam era. I had friends
who did not come back from Vietnam. I had other friends who did come home but
were permanently damaged by the things they saw. For me, this is an opportunity
to give back something to the men who served their country when the call came.
My uncles and father are gone now, but I do hope, in some small way, to pay it
forward for them. This is a tiny step, but as the man once said, every journey
begins with that first step.”
It’s easy to sit back and talk about helping our
veterans and active military members. To step up and help is something altogether
different. We are answering the call for help.
Will you answer? All it takes is for you to log on
to Amazon or Barnes & Noble and spend 99 cents, and then hopefully share
the great news on our labor of love. Not only will you receive eight
full-length novels for your enjoyment, you will also tell our men and women who
suffer from this terrible and debilitating illness that we’ve got their backs.
