35K Celebration - Hop on board the Smile Train

Hi everyone!

To celebrate selling over 35,000 copies of my Tropical Heat Series: Wild for You (Book One) and Sold on You (Book Two), I am donating a portion of the sales on March 1, 2012 to the SMILE TRAIN - a charity that repairs disfiguring cleft palates on children. Smile Train is the world's leading cleft charity with hundreds of programs in 80+ of the world's poorest countries.

 

Join me in spreading the word -- it takes $250.00 to pay for one operation that can happily transform a child's life. Let's see how many operations we can provide

 

On March 1, please leave a comment on this blog when you've purchased or gifted a copy of Wild for You or Sold on You and I will add your name to the list of donors. I will announce my cash amount donation to Smile Train on March 2, 2012.

 

Thank you very much!
