Giving Feels Good!

DONATIONS
These are based on the themes in the various books I have written. Each book I write is dedicated to a specific cause, charity or organization. 25% of my royalty from the sale of my books is donated quarterly to these organizations. So if you want to make a difference, you can reward yourself with a good read and give to a good cause at the same time.
