The pebble has hit the water!

Some of you have seen my post earlier titled Here's a New Idea, about donating my new novel to Cancer Research. It is a cracking good SF adventure story.

In my book I ask readers to also make a donation to their local chapter and pass the book on to someone else.

I've been doing the math:

I now have 17 books out there. Completely aside from my donation of over $2 per book royalties, here is the potential donations of those books.

If half of the books generate as expected, 12 reads per year for 10 years, at $10 per donation (average) = $9,600
If half of the remaining generate half as much as above = $1500
If I sell just one book per year that generates as expected = $6600

Completely aside from my royalties that's $17,700 donated to a worthy cause.

Books keep circulating all the time - Cancer kills people!

Won't you consider helping me?
