100 stories for QLD: Pretty please with a cherry on top for Theresa Milstein and I, couldja?

We interrupt my blogging schedule, once again, today because 100 Stories For Queensland are hosting an Amazon Chart Rush to raise as much money as possible for the flood victims in Queensland, Australia--my home country! But this isn't just any anthology. It contains a short story of mine and a short story from the gorgeous, talented Theresa Milstein! So, in addition to raising money for Queensland, you are doing both Theresa and I a favour by giving us more exposure as writers. I'd like to stress, that none of the authors in this anthology are getting royalties. ALL proceeds go towards aiding areas of Queensland which suffered during the floods.

So will you join us and purchase a copy today? It would also be great if you could tweet and facebook this post to get the word spreading!

The following content is from the 100 Stories For Queensland Blog:

What is a chart rush?

Readers are invited to purchase the book on Amazon, in a nominated 24-hour period, with the intent to capitalise on the volume of sales to move the book up the Amazon best seller list. The higher up the chart it is (we’re aiming for a spot in the top 100) the more visible it becomes to other readers who may go on to purchase it.

It’s all about exposure and the more people who come across 100 Stories for Queensland, the more books we sell and the more money we raise.

If you can’t buy on the day, you can add it to your wishlist. Every little bit counts.

Retail Price
The book retails online for US$19.99 and ₤9.99. The paperback will be available for sale through this site in June when eMergent Publishing’s printer, Lightning Source International, opens it’s Australian press in Melbourne.

100 Stories for Queensland is listed here at Amazon and Amazon UK.
