Indie author Catherine Mahoney would like to make everyone aware of two Facebook items organized by indie authors to help Hurricane Sandy survivors.

The “Authors Auction for Hurricane Sandy Victims” started on November 6th, asking for donations from indie authors and others for items to be auctioned off on November 16th to individuals who pay a pledge to the American Red Cross. The donor will need to present a Red Cross receipt for verification before the merchandise can be shipped to the purchaser. This event is organized by Dawn White and Brandy Schaefer Dull.

A new group was formed for indie authors who want to donate copies of their print books to the libraries wiped out by Hurricane Sandy. While most of these libraries are not prepared to receive donations at this time, once their doors are ready to open again, “Indie Authors for Hurricane Sandy Libraries” will serve as a focal point for sharing information about which libraries need what kinds of books. This group was organized by author K. S. Brooks.

These individuals, as well as many others, are dedicating their time and hearts to assist strangers and help them back on their feet. It’s wonderful that a community can come together to help people they’ve never met. Thank you to everyone who is contributing.
