A little over a week ago, I wrote a blog post here titled
"Anthology for Victims of Sandy."The idea was a simple one. See if we could get some authors to write and donate some stories for an anthology, sell it, and donate all the money to the American Red Cross to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy (many of whom STILL do not have power).
The response was astounding.
The author list as of this moment:
• Robert Silverberg (Hugo and Nebular Award winner)
• Marion Zimmer Bradley (Locus Award winner) (donated by the MZB Literary Trust)
• Elizabeth Bear
• Michael A. Stackpole
• Timothy Zahn
• Tobias Buckell
• Bradley P. Beaulieu
• Philip Athans
• Stephen D. Sullivan
• Rick Novy
• Jean Rabe
• Mark Lawerence

• Alex Bledsoe
• R.T. Kaelin
• Ari Marmell
• Jaym Gates
• Pamela Turner

If you are an author looking to contribute a story, feel free to contact me at rtkaelin@terrene.info. Or send me a message via Twitter @AuthorRTKaelin. Anthology details: 3-5k words in length (after all, we want to get this together quickly), genre independent, appropriate for all ages. As this will be an ebook only, total length of book will not matter. I'm guess we'll be pushing 200k when all is said and done.
If you wish to buy/contribute, visit the anthology's site at IndieGoGo.com The donation page has only been up for a couple days and we've hit almost $500.
You can find the book here at Goodreads:
