Donating Book Proceeds to charity


Home Page 

My (doctor) wife, Gloria used to volunteer overseas. One of her sponsors (medicines, equipment) was an author of children's books . This lady uses the proceeds from her books to support worthwhile charities. This inspired and challenged me. How can I do any less?

The Paladin Chronicles are set in the period starting 350 BC but one of the heroes of the series, Hakeem, is Aramaic (Syrian). The desert city of Karsh lies in what would be the modern day Syria.
So since the first  cheque (March 2013) onwards, I have and will continue to pay all expenses out of my own pocket and match every dollar of royalty received with a donation to charity after allowing for any advertising.

Want to buy my books?
It is available from Amazon and most e book sites.

Want to help what I am doing?  Please give me a favourable review on the site you purchased or downloaded the book (if you feel the book has earned it) or recommend this series to someone who likes this genre. Amazon suggests for their star ratings: 5 Stars I love it, 4 stars I like it, 3 stars it is OK, 2 Stars I don't like it, 1 star I hate it.
