Share the Love FTW!

You guys rock! I just have to say that because you've been amazing with the Share the <3 campaign to support The National Domestic Violence Hotline. Here are the results and man, are they awesome!

My total donation to The Hotline:

$1,600!

($500 for my 100,000th book sold + another $1,100 because you guys bought another 11,000+ books in July!)

Donations to The Hotline by readers (at least those who sent me receipts):

$310!

Our total fundraising efforts:

$1,910!!!!

Woohoo!!!

I told you that you guys rock. *big grin* I'm so proud to call you friends. *bigger grin*

I owe many of you bookmarks and coozies for your donations. Please be patient - I'm still working hard on getting Power ready to release later this month, so pretty much everything else has been back-burnered (it's nothing personal - just ask my kids). I'll get everything out at the end of the month or early September.

In the meantime, I'll continue taking receipts for donations to The Hotline in exchange for swag. Email me your receipt of your donation and I'll send you bookmarks.

Thanks again, everyone! I have the best readers and friends!
