There’s a fundraiser I’d really like you to check out. I don’t know if you are familiar with Edward J Rathke, but you should be if you aren’t. He’s a hell of a writer. Unfortunately, Eddy was defrauded by a guy using the alias “James Xavier Reed” as part of Eddy’s freelance work to the tune of about two grand. Long story short, neither Eddy’s bank nor the police are really going to be able to help him.
However, we can.
This fundraiser has been set up to try to offset this loss for Eddy. As part of this, Bartleby Snopes (through the agency of the talented Nathaniel Tower) is putting together The Revenge of the Scammed Anthology. I hope to have a piece in this anthology myself, and copies of the anthology are included in the perks. Authors who may be included (the list isn’t finalized yet) may include:
Jesus Angel Garcia
David S. Atkinson
Allie Marini Batts
Ryan W Bradley
Paul D Brazil
Darlene Campos
Garrett Cook
Sandy Barrett Ebner
Rory Fleming
Susan Gibb
Michael Gonzalez
Amanda Gowin
Douglas Hackle
Sally Heymann
Don Lawson
William Lemon
h. l. nelson
J David Osborne
Alex Pruteanu
Stephen V Ramey
Matt Rowan
Robyn Ryle
Michael J. Seidlinger
Grergory Sherl
Ryan Shoemaker
Sam Snoek-Brown
Ben Tanzer
Susan Tepper
Refe Tuma
Richard Thomas
Nathaniel Tower
Robert Vaughan
There are some other great perks including various unique rewards from Eddy, Ryan W Bradley, JA Tyler, Ben Tanzer, Broken River Books and many other cool and interesting people. Fingerpainting, editing services, signed books, all kinds of cool stuff.
So, check out the fundraiser. Contribute if you can. I already have. Spread the word. If nothing else, as the fundraiser page mentions, you can always at least buy Eddy a beer next time you see him.
SAVE EDDY!
