Paying It Forward...

"Falling Into Infinity" and "From Now Until Infinity" are available in paperback. I've been struggling with letting you know for a couple of reasons. One, I feel like I'm cheating you by asking you to pay for the same book twice. I wish there was some way to refund the money that you've spent on the digital copy of the book if you purchase the paperback version. So far, I haven't found a way. Second, I feel rather pretentious in assuming that you would even want a signed copy of my book/books. I mean, my kids' school gets my signature for free almost daily. Don't get me started on the local merchants who ask me to sign credit card receipts. I've talked to other authors and bloggers and have found that this is a common sentiment. Although, I will say that I have a signed copy of Stephen King's "The Stand." It's one of my most prized possessions.

Anyway, I woke up in the middle of the night with what I think is a good idea. I hope you agree. For the month of October, I'll be signing copies of each book and donating the money to a breast cancer charity that is near and dear to my heart. So here's how this will work. You can email me at layne@layneharper.com and let me know what paperback book/books that you want to order. Please include a note of what you would like for me to write if it's more than just my signature. I also need the address where you would like the books sent. I'll send you a PayPal invoice for the total. The books retail for $12.99 (I didn't set the price. That's another blog rant). I'll donate all of the profit from every book sold to the organization The Rose http://www.therose.org/. They offer  breast cancer treatment, diagnosis and screening for women regardless of their ability to pay. I apologize, but this price is only for US shipments. If you are international, I'll have to add additional shipping charges.

Also, as a HUGE thank you from the bottom of heart for supporting this great charity and paying for the same book twice, I'll be entering everyone who purchases a paperback copy of the Infinity series in the month of October in a raffle.  I'll pull five names randomly and give the winners a ARC copy of "Finding Infinity." That means that you'll get the third book in the series two weeks before it can be purchased. But, you have to pinkie swear to not post spoilers.

So here's my PSA since you made it to the bottom of this post :-) I have three friends that have been diagnosed with breast cancer in their thirties. No history of breast cancer in their families. Thankfully they're all doing well. I'm honored to call these ladies my friends and their journeys inspire me everyday.
