Interesting, Al, kind of like celebrities who donate their time for some big TV charitable event. Here's a promise, Al--when I've made a 10th of the money that Gregory Maguire has made (author of Wicked and one of Concord Free Press authors) I'll also dedicate the proceeds of one of my books to charity (if it's still possible to make money with books at that point).
Btw. What's your take on Stona Fitch, the author running this? Are his books worth checking out?
