Guys, some of you may be familiar with indie author L.C. Evans. She has been suffering from cancer for some time now and passed away in early January.
The medical bills with which her family have been left are likely to be not insignificant, and a few of her friends have got together to attempt to help.
Simon Royle at the Indie View is hosting the following memorial blog on 24th Jan, when we're trying to stir up as much interest as possible and sell as many copies of her books as we can.
This is partly because we think her books are worth the reading (and they've won awards) and in part because it's a little way in which we can make a gesture of appreciation turn into a tangible way of helping her loved ones.
The post follows. If anyone would be up for helping I - and her friends, and her family - would really, really appreciate it. Thanks all;
JAC

To celebrate and honor our friend, indie author, L.C. Evans, and her contribution to the Indie eBook revolution, we're giving away a whole bunch of free books. Linda lost her fight with cancer earlier this month. We lost a friend and a compatriot.
We'd like you to buy her her books, read her books, and make her words live.
In Linda's own words, from her indieview a year ago...
" I want my books to appeal to everyone, though I understand that men in general aren’t fond of reading chick lit or romantic comedy."
If chick lit or romantic comedy is not your thing, authors who have been interviewed on theIndieView, will give you one of their books for every one of Linda's books that you buy. For every receipt you send through, you will also get a lucky draw entry. The winners of the lucky draw will get a bundle of ALL the books - free.
The list of contributing authors and the books they've included is below.
All you have to do to claim your free book/s is forward your Amazon Order Receipt for one (or many) of L.C.'s books to the author whose book you have chosen. The authors email address is included with their book listing. [IMPORTANT NOTE: when you forward the receipt, please delete your billing details], we only need the email address and the book order. Once we're done sending you the book, we'll delete your email address :) (unless of course you'd like to chat with one of favorite authors - the point is - this is not a marketing exercise.
Indie Book reviewers have graciously lent their time by reviewing L.C.'s books; you can find links to those reviews, here.{add link to latest reviews page-all reviews that day to be L.C. Evans reviews}
