As some of you know, Tom Piccirilli hasn’t been feeling himself lately — headaches, vision problems, etc. He was admitted into the hospital Thursday after undergoing an MRI. On Friday, Tom learned that that the culprit is a brain tumor. He’ll be undergoing surgery this Monday to have the tumor removed, followed by weeks of chemo and radiation treatments.

Tom has been one of my best friends for the last fifteen years. I call him big bro. He calls me little bro. It’s meant, on both our parts. In an industry where people turn on you on a dime, Tom stands rock solid. I can’t think of anyone more mutually beloved by our peers than Tom is. I’m sure there will be a Kickstarter put together soon enough to help with his medical bills, but until then, I’d appreciate if ALL OF YOU could purchase something by Tom. He’s written crime, horror, westerns, bizarro, and more. (See below).

UPDATE: Tom’s digital publisher, Crossroads Press, have announced that for at least the rest of the year, 100% of the sales from Tom’s digital books that they’ve published will go to him. They are waiving their percentage. Click here to purchase one.

And thanks to David Niall Wilson of Crossroads Press for this incredible gesture.
