Hi Guys

Just wanted to let you know that my book Dreamin’ Dreams  - a collection of Irish short stories -has been published as a multi-format e-book and is available to download for just £2.99  from:

http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/21881

And I want all of the proceeds from the sale of this book to go to charity.

This means that for every book sold, a charity will get £2.20! (obviously the publishers have the other 79p)

My big problem, though, is trying to decide which charity to donate to - there are so many out there desperate for funds.

My initial choice was the Down’s Syndrome Association - my daughter Shelly has Down’s Syndrome - but then I saw a documentary about the atrocious conditions in some Romanian orphanages and it was heart breaking!

Later I saw another documentary about children with cancer. And on the news nearly every night we see more disasters that leave millions of people desperately needing our support …

So, because I can’t decide for myself, I’ve decided to ask all my  friends for your advice.

Is there a particular charity you feel would benefit from this, and if so, can you please give me an address as well.

To help generate enthusiasm and get the sales rolling, please forward this note to as many people as you can think of and ask them to purchase the book - you can actually download 50% of the book free so that you can sample the work before you buy - and hopefully we can make a difference to someone a lot worse off than we are …

Also, if you buy the book yourself and you like it, please feel free to write a review. It would be very much appreciated.

Thanks very much for your support
