NEWS & LINKS

2/17/10--April is Autism Awareness Month. I currently donate $1 for every book sold to the Autism Research Institute (ARI). I believe we can do much better, but I need your help. I propose to give a FREE autographed copy of Jack's Last Promise for every $25 ARI donation, limited to the first 400 people who respond. I'll even pay for the shipping and handling. (Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery). My goal is to raise $10000 by April 30, 2010. If $25 is too much for you, Jack's Last Promise is on sale now for $10 (plus $5 S&H). ALL proceeds will go to ARI.

Why am I doing this? ARI is a top rated four-star charity that I believe in. I also believe in my story. It relays a good message and I would like more people to learn about it. Word of mouth is the cheapest and most effective way to make that happen. This is a winning situation for all. ARI gets a donation, you get a free book, and I get word of mouth advertising. How do you participate? Copy this and send it to every person you know and encourage them to participate. Make a $25 donation to ARI. Their link is here: Autism Research Institute.

They will send you an acknowledgement form, which looks like this:

Place your name, address, and e-mail on the back of the original form and send it to: Norse Spirit, PO Box 9841, Helena, MT 59604. In return, I will send you a FREE autographed copy of Jack's Last Promise for every $25 ARI donation and I will post your name on this web site. For those who have already bought my book, thank you very much! You can still take advantage of this and use the free book as a gift. If you like Jack's Last Promise please spread the word to everybody you know and highly recommend that they read it too. Refer them to my web site http://www.norsespirit.com/ or to Amazon.

What happens once we reach the $10000 goal? We celebrate, of course! And you can still order Jack's Last Promise. I am donating all sales proceeds to ARI through April.

Don't delay. Order today. Together we can make a difference.

DISCLAIMER: I have no affiliation whatsoever with the Autism Research Institute. I receive no incentives or kickbacks for doing this. I do this on my own free will. My objective is to raise as much funds as possible for them and offer my book as a reward to the first 400 donators.
