50 Stories For Pakistan - Out now!

This is Greg McQueen, founder of Big Bad Media and 'creative juice' behind 100 Stories For Haiti and his latest project, 50 Stories For Pakistan.

He is holding his very first copy of 50 Stories For Pakistan, which is available from Blurb Books NOW! To order your own copy, please go here.
All proceeds will go to the Red Cross Pakistan Floods Appeal.

The link will also take you to a list of the other authors. I am in some very good company! The introduction is written by the very fabulous Vanessa Gebbie, author of Storm Warning and Words From a Glass Bubble.

Progress

So, the good news is... we've sold some copies of my e-story The Glassy Roll of the Eye!
That's a few more dollars towards the Haiti relief effort by the Red Cross.



I could really do with some more reviews, especially by anyone who'd like to buy a copy but is put off by the out-of-States price. ($1 within USA, more outside because of e-book red tape). Hopefully some favourable reviews (hey, you could even just say you like the photograph of the desert!) will help drum up some support.

Thanks to everyone who has bought it so far.

On a related note, 100 Stories for Haiti have just announced the contents of their book - lots of familiar names in there! They must have been working their socks off to get it all together so quickly. I'll put up another link when it's available to buy.

E-Book for Haiti Launch

Inspired by Crossed Genres' Post a Story for Haiti initiative, I posted a story up on my blog called The Glassy Roll of the Eye, a story about survival.

I've taken it one step further and turned it into an e-book on Amazon! All my author proceeds ($0.35 per sale) will go to the Red Cross Haiti appeal.
You don't need an e-book reader, you can download it to your computer.

It costs $1 in USA but unfortunately, due to international red tape gubbins, it costs over $3 outside USA. And the author proceeds still remain the same.


You can still read it for free on my blog and donate to a relief fund of your choice.

Any reviews/comments on Amazon will be helpful, too, even if you don't buy it.

I'll keep you posted. I'm excited about it, it all feels very 21st Century. And unlike traditional self publishing, we're not losing anything, so let's hope we can raise some money!
