Tom Piccirilli Help Desk - Ring Bell for Service


How To Help Tom Piccirilli (UPDATED x 2)

Note: This is copied from Brian Keene's Page for convenience. He had all the data so I'm just providing a new outlet. 
Tom Piccirilli has been a friend and mentor since BEFORE I started writing. He's always been there for me and has never hesitated to provide advice or slap me silly for doing something stupid. This is the time we pay things back. Please, take a moment and do what you can do.
As previously noted, author Tom Piccirilli is battling brain cancer. The disease is aggressive, but so is Tom. Although the surgery was a success, he has a very long fight ahead of him. There are five ways that readers, fans, friends, and peers can help.
1. You can donate money directly via this fundraiser on IndieGoGo. The fundraiser has been set up by Tom’s niece. All proceeds will go directly to Tom.
2. You can purchase one of his digital books published by Crossroads Press. From now until the end of the year, they are waiving their percentage, and 100% of the sales will go to Tom.
3. You can donate money immediately via PayPal to Tom’s sister-in-law. This money will help Tom’s wife Michelle with living expenses now (as the fundraiser money won’t be available until the end of October). See the Donate button atthe top of this page.
4. Following the lead of Crossroads Press, Chi Zine Publications have announced that until the end of the year, 100% of the sales for the digital edition of Tom’sEvery Shallow Cut will also go directly to the author.
5. For the month of October, all proceeds from the sales of Fantastic Stories of the Imagination will be donated to Tom.
