Its very unsettling writing about earthquake and tsunami plagued island nations in fiction, and then finding them suddenly all too real in the news.

I very much want to do something to help, as I’m sure many of you do.  So for every $25 Paypal donation made to any one of the reputable relief organizations found here, I will send a free copy of The Alarna Affair to whomever you want.

For every donation of $100 or more, I will mail a piece of original art from one of the three Blackfeather stories.

Just forward your e-receipt to rlampi(at)ruthlampi.com, along with the address you would like your book or art mailed to.

Let me know what illustration from any of the books you would like the original of, and I will let you know right away if I have it.
