OK, fine. Here's a helpful post for authors.

Around once a year, I totally break from the pointless point of this blog and write something pointy. Pointed. Full of point.

Not unlike a vampire's tooth. Or a wooden stake.

You guessed it! I write about Vampire Books for Blood.

I released Wisconsin Vamp in early 2014. Later that year, I came up with the idea of a charitable event for authors of vampire-themed books. The idea was simple: I encouraged authors to pledge to donate a portion of their earnings from the month of October to the American Red Cross.

The first year, I set up a FB page for the event, and a total of 5 authors participated.

The next year, I built a website and included Canadian Blood Services as an event beneficiary. 13 authors participated.

This year, the event is off to an earlier and much stronger start. With almost 3 months before the event kicks off, there are already 11 authors that have pledged to donate.

If you're the author of a vampire-themed book, I really hope you'll participate! It's a fun way to support two great organizations and find new readers.

Also, I hope you'll share the event with others. The more people that know about the event, the more successful it will be!
