My readers are the best! Your support of my book, SECOND TIME AROUND, pushed my donation to three animal rescue groups to $1,500 each! Wow! For every book sold during the first two weeks after release (including pre-orders and international sales), I donated a portion of my royalties to these three deserving organizations, which were nominated by my New Book Alert subscribers:

Cat House on the Kings: California’s largest no-cage, no-kill cat sanctuary. (Multiple readers nominated this group.)

Funny Farm Rescue Animal Sanctuary: a New Jersey farm where over 550 rescue animals are loved and cared for.

Villalobos: an all-breed rescue facility–but with a focus on pitbulls–in Louisiana. (The featured rescue dog in SECOND TIME AROUND is a pitbull.)

The folks at these organizations were all very grateful and asked me to thank all of you for your help! Brodie (also a rescue) says, “Thank you” as well.
