Gotcha!
Before you turn the page let me tell you a little story.
There was a man called Felix LeRoy Perry that had an idea, to have a fond for authors falling in economical hardship. At the time he and the rest of us had no idea that the Big Economical Crunch was coming and with it…you know it by now.
When the crunch made it impossible demands, AD membership or food…that Felix idea came more actual than ever, and we needed a solution, and fast.
Hardships become lesser one if shared or at least opening a door where to escape from realities into a place where to write, to share, to be part of, to be not alone with the worries.
Falling out of AuthorsDen.com would give them time to think problem that could come, miseries that could be knocking at the door, cut off from that literary family where they could find that shoulder.
We contacted then Matthew Miller, founder of AD, holding Felix idea and one step farther, with an account already open
AUTHORSHELPACCOUNT(at)YAHOO.COM
with already money in it to put the help into action.
That’s was when AuthorsDen.com Matthew Miller, Founder and Director of and Management came with the idea to match dollar per dollar the donations of all the donor-authors so we could offer a Bronze Membership for a year to those going under water or already there.
Not satisfied with it, AuthorsDen.com opened for a payment of ten dollar per quarter to those which would like that solution as well as a moratorium in payments if that would help too.
And more, AuthorsDen.com was entertaining the idea to offer all the authors the means to assist authors in their writing, publishing and marketing efforts.
There was a question why AuthorsDen.com don’t lower the rates, because they have employees to be also paid, and one cannot paid 100 with one income of 50.
From being just a business in the eyes of many, Authors.comDen has shown a willingness to come to the aid, to accommodate and even to find ways to be part of the Literary Family that has congregated on their turf.
From a thought “business” they have become, by actions, the ones to thank for their vision to be part of and not act as a business saying “take it or leave it” your problems are not concern of ours.
Matthew Miller, AuthorsDen.com Management and their Staff members will have for ever a place of gratitude in our hearts, because they cared as we do for the well being of our authors family.

What you and your active team are doing today will be benefitted by people you have never known or even seen them. This is what we call humanity and we want it to reign as it is the kingdom of love. Thanks George and thanks for the poem " The Gentle Desert Wanderer"
well done group effort here in support of Authors Den, understandably with so many "free" alternatives these days, it's a wonder so many have stayed. Its a nice loyalty.

All of you are such beautiful people with good hearts. Please advise on just one little thing. For those who do not like or have had unsavory experiences with "PayPal" but still wish to contribute, is there a way to use the U.S. mail and send direct?? Oh, glad to know all kitties are well and curiosity did not get to them...
Nice to hear of a business willing to help out its members in times of trouble...and good to know we have so many other members willing to try to help their "family" because even some families find it hard to help their own...nice write, Georg, and I have to go along with Pee-wee and am happy this write is not about a dead kitty...ed
God bless you all!!! I think it is a good gesture from you all!!! And the generosity of Matt Miller to match the fund dollar for dollar is such an angelic gesture of the part of AD's family!!!
I would like to make a plea too for everyone who has not contributed yet to the author's help funds to contribute. This is in fact for a good cause.
Some of my friends here have no food on their tables, and they live in hardship. They had to decide whether to continue on writing, and coming here to meet their friends, or to put food on their tables. This authors' help fund is NOT just about authorsden, it about people helping people who are in need; it's about authors helping authors who are in financial difficulties to ensure that they don't lose their faiths and talents in continuing their writings.
If you have not made the contributions yet, please do so soon. Creating a paypal account is easy. You ONLY USE your e-mail account and link it to your bank account when you open an account in paypal. No one even know your bank account, it is NEVER VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC. All people can see is your e-mail address. I have been using paypal for a long time, and I have never had any troubles with it. It is safe to use to send and receive funds.
And if you think you don't want anyone to know your original bank account number, then by all means....go to your bank and open up a new account for this purposes. Put a few bucks in there to keep the new account active for this kind of purposes.
HOWEVER....BEFORE you want to send funds to another, you MUST ENSURE that the funds are ALREADY IN your new account before you send the funds!!!
Whichever way you want to open an account with paypal, paypal is ALWAYS SAFE TO USE!!!
I'm all for this kind gesture from our fellow poets: George, Felix, Bonnie, Amber, and Ted!!!...And more so, for the kind gesture of Matt Miller, who will match the contribution in dollar for dollar!!!!!
I hope everyone will contribute to the authors help funds. It doesn't matter how much you're contributing. This isn't a contest, but is a matter of helping those who are in need of help!!!
Funds (large or small) can be sent to:
authorshelpaccount(at)yahoo.com
but you must send it by first opening a paypal account.
I think it was a great idea and I am so happy to see it a reality. Thank you to those Angels responsible. Family is love and we are there to help each other.
The Harvest of Souls Crossover is a story that is exciting, vigorous, and full of suspense about the fight of good and evil in two realms, the light and dark world. The Howdy Family is determined to defeat the world of darkness, led by the seemingly
