Hi guys!
          
          It's been a while since I posted, but I wanted to share a great post on combating writer's block from friend and fellow author Heather Douglas.

A post on two great educational programs worth supporting: the Lives in Transition Program and the Seaside Public Library Foundation.

          For every copy of Pitcher Plant sold during release week (May 12-19), including preorders, I will donate $1 (up to $500) to the LIT Program. If you are planning on buying Pitcher Plant, would you consider preordering or purchasing it during release week? You’ll be making a huge difference in the lives of these students. I would appreciate it, and I know the students will too.
          
          Also, if you're local to the northern Oregon coast, we're doing a fundraiser on May 11 for the Seaside Public Library. It will be great fun, so I hope you'll join us. Check out my post for more info.
