The amazing potential of this type of fundraising. Just Imagine What We Can Do...
Some of you may doubt the value of donating my new novel to Cancer Research. Firstly, it is a cracking good SF adventure story so people will enjoy it.
Asking people to make their own donations to their own Cancer Society Chapter is not unreasonable.
I've been doing the math:
Aug 08: I now have 17 books out there. Completely aside from my donation of over $2 per book in royalties, here is the potential 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!
