Giftmas 2018. I’m back after a while. My hiatus was not intentional.
My laptop crashed and it took three full weeks for it to be repaired. It has kind of broken my dependence on the laptop and given me a self-imposed retreat. So I’m slowly getting back to cranking out stuff on my website. My latest romance, is on Pre-order currently. It will be available on Netgalley soon.
Till then since it’s December I’m back to hosting our annual Giftmas 2018. This year all the authors are contributing free stories on the websites and an anthology. The anthology will be free till Christmas day and then on sale.
We’re starting early this time, right from the first day of Advent.
Giftmas-2018
Each dollar donated to the food bank can buy three meals.
Our goal this year at Giftmas 2018 is $750.
That means if we reach our goal we will have helped provide 2,250 meals to hungry people. That’s a lot of meals.
But we can’t do it without you, and every dollar counts.
CLICK HERE TO DONATE TO THE EDMONTON FOOD BANK
None of this money comes to me. It all goes to the Edmonton Food Bank via Canada Helps. That means you can donate with confidence, knowing there is no chance your money won’t go where it’s intended. Also, Canadian donors can get a tax receipt and American donors can get crazy value for your money because those donations are in Canadian dollars. Consequently, every US dollar is worth about $1.25 Canadian!
But wait! There’s more!
While donating to the food bank we’re offering even more than that warm and fuzzy feeling in exchange for your donation.
Every person who donates to the fundraiser will receive a Giftmas card from me. However, the first five people to donate will find a custom poem (about a subject of their choice) included in that card along with some brand new ‘Writing is a Team Sport’ swag (in the form of a magnet) and for any of those donations which are $25 or more I will also include a special custom Corvidae die.
Also, every single person who donates $1 or more to the fundraiser will receive an electronic copy of Brandy Ackerley’s book, Fated.
Oh, but also? There’s still more 
Because we know that money can be awfully tight around the holidays, so we’ve made it easy for you to support the fundraiser without spending any money — by signal boosting it. Check out the prizes that you can win. There are three prize packs, one which is open to anyone. One for the US only and one for Canadians.
