Giftmas 2022

Tis the season for sharing and gift-giving, and there's one particularly good way to give and share that I'd like you to consider: a fundraiser for Edmonton Food Bank. When I lived in Alberta, Edmonton was the closest city to the farm. I have family living there, and the Edmonton Food Bank has been a great support to them and their friends & neighbours. So when my writer friend Rhonda Parrish asks a few of us writers to support a fundraiser for the Food Bank, it's just RIGHT to say YES.

We've each sent a thread of tweets on Twitter on this topic, and we'll be conversing over April 30 and May 1. There are probably nearly as many reasons for self-publishing as there are people doing it. There are a couple of reasons that I have a self-publishing project going in Doublejoy Books.
