Forwarded from Loren Coleman:
I am the son of a firefighter who was a fulltime professional for twenty
years. He died too early from years of sucking in toxins from fires and
from smoking. He gave much to many, including supporting my dreams of
exploring and deciphering this mysterious world and writing about it.
Thinking about firefighters comes easy these days. America is rediscovering
these often unheralded heroes. I've been struggling with how I, merely an
author, could sincerely assist the families of the WTC's lost firefighters.
While remaining aware, alert, and safe, I know that Americans and our
friends around the world will need a break, now and then, from the terrible
events flashing before us. Reading will become a respite. One can
appropriately escape into books, journey a few moments from the horrors of
recent days, and still help out.
As the author of some books currently in print, I am announcing that I will
be donating 100% of my proceeds from the sales of all of my books purchased
from September 11 through October 11 to the New York Firefighters 9-11
Disaster Relief Fund (IAFF), with a continuing percentage to be donated
indefinitely. I encourage other authors to join me.
Thank you for helping, in whatever ways you choose to do so. Together,
we'll get through this, and be stronger in the end.
God Bless America - and All the World.
Most sincerely,
Loren Coleman
