Kristie Cook: Help Me Help OK!

My dad, stepmom, stepsister and her family live in the Oklahoma City area so you can imagine the terror I felt yesterday when the news started coming in, especially since I couldn't get a phone call through. Fortunately, they are all okay. Sadly, there are a lot of people hurting today and they will be for some time - some parents and loved ones will never fully recover.

When I was a newspaper editor and reporter in Kansas, I had to cover tornado damage. My heart broke every single time, although there'd been no human deaths in the ones I covered. The devastation is like nothing you can imagine unless you've seen it for yourself. The loss of animal life is gut-wrenching. I remember a young girl having to watch the sheriff put her horse down because it had landed in a ditch thousands of feet away from its barn, its back broken.

My husband's aunt lost her home and their belongings in a tornado in 2008.

Yes, this hits very close to home. No, I can't not do something for the people of Moore, OK.

So I will be donating to the Red Cross $1 for every book I sell from now through May 31, 2013.

I hope you will join me. Like last year's drive for The Domestic Violence Hotline, I have something for everyone who buys my books during this time or donates to the Red Cross:

Email me** your receipt(s) for any of my books with the purchase date between today and May 31, 2013, and you'll be entered to win a giveaway of all of my signed books plus swag. Gift receipts count!
For everyone who makes a donation to the Red Cross for $10 or more and emails me** a receipt (dated 5/20/13-5/31/13) and their shipping address, I'll send you a pack of fancy bookmarks and a Kristie Cook can-coozie.

Remember - if you've already bought all my books, you can gift them! All ebook retailers allow gifting. Links for each book are below. And to make it even better - The Space Between is on an ENT special so it's only 99c for Kindle. But hurry! That deal won't last.

You can easily donate $10 to the Red Cross by texting Red Cross to 90999. Your donation will be added to your cell phone bill. Otherwise, you can donate here: https://www.redcross.org/donate/index.jsp?donateStep=2&itemId=prod10002

If you can't afford to buy/gift books or make a donation, I hope you will at least forward this to everyone you know, share it on social media and otherwise help me spread the word. My readers are AMAZING and I can't wait to see what you can do for this great cause!

**Send your receipts and contact info to kristie@kristiecook.com. If you donate via phone text, take a screen shot of the confirmation and email it to me. (Free downloads of Promise are not included in this event.)

Thank you in advance for your help!!!
