I don’t have words to describe the care my dad is getting at the hospital. Every nurse, doctor, and other staff member that we have come in contact with has been amazing. They are so nice and understanding, and they want to attend to our every need. Because I’m so impressed with them and their great care of my dad, I’m going to try to do something good for them. I don’t know how this will work out. I’m going to have to count on all of you to spread the word, because I’m just too wiped out to do anything. So here it is. Starting today through the end of the year, for every copy of Soul of a Vampire sold on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or Smashwords, I’m going to donate 50% of the proceeds to the hospital. I might not have enough sales to even make a drop in a bucket, but I’m going to try. I can’t afford to donate a large amount personally to them, but I hope I can get enough sales to at least give them something. I know money is tight, but SoaV is only $2.99, so maybe this will work. 🙂
Spread the word!

Hope you and you family are doing okay.
That’s a very nice idea and of course I’ll post about it, but as a healthcare profesional, I’ve had people give me good write-ups on Press-Gainy reports or verbally or in comment forms. I wouldn’t know if anyone has ever given a donation because of the care they received, those things are handled by Administration and we may get a message about it or told about it in a meeting, although I rarely read my admin emails or go to meetings (they bore me, I’m here to treat patients not sit in meetings). The best thank you I ever got was a homemade card that the patient brought in herself to give to me. I still have that card and it makes me smile everytime I see it or think about it. But that’s just my take on it, it’s the thought that counts and your heart is certainly in the right place. Any form of thank you is amazing because those people took out of their personal time to do it, and to me, that means a lot.
Glad you’re happy with the care your dad’s receiving.
I’ll share this on my FB.
Thanks, everyone. I should probably rethink this whole thing. I haven’t sold a single copy of SoaV on Amazon since I posted this. Chris, I know we need to somehow thank the care givers personally. But there are so many! Honestly, I’ve never seen a hospital where EVERYONE is this caring. Maybe my sisters and I can do something personal for them. I would still like to give a donation to the hospital, mostly because it’s such a good hospital, and it seems every little bit could help with the care of patients. And it might be a good idea to specify exactly where the money should go in the hospital. Although, it looks like there isn’t going to be any money. I’ve seen so many authors do things like this for charity, and I’ve immediately gone and bought a copy of the book to help out. I don’t know why things I do never work out. Sometimes, I just want to disappear from the online world and pout. LOL
No pouting, it’s been less than 24 hours! It’ll happen let it build some steam.
I do remember once a family took out an add in a newspaper to thank the hospital for the work we did for their mother. Or cookies or brownies work. But mostly just saying ‘Thank You’ in person means more to me than anything. Taking care of people is my job and I love it, otherwise i wouldn’t be doing it. Thank You’s aren’t necessary but they do feel good. Once again, the fact that you want to do something to say Thank You is the important part.
Now stop pouting and go get a cow costume, they’re great therapeutic items.
