Buy a Sci-Fi Novelette, Charities Get $$$

Here’s the deal. I wrote a novelette that takes place in the same universe as The Dome Trilogy. It’s only about 11,000 words, or about 38 pages. Longer than a short story, but still probably less than an hour’s read. By buying it, you can help out a couple of charities.

I just published the Kindle version of this story, and it’s available for $0.99. It’s pretty short, so be aware of what you’re get
