Share The < 3

Last Teaser Tuesday, Kristie Cook, author of the Soul Savers series (which I suggest you read if you haven't yet, because well one name pops into mind; Tristan)  revealed "Share the <3" and left us all wondering what in the world did it mean!? She went to say she is going to be starting a new campaign for a very speacial charity that is near and dear to her heart, as well it is to mine. So what does "Share the <3" mean, you might be asking yourself? Let's get serious for one second.

Domestic violence is a very big deal in my life and is not something I can easily talk about without getting either very angry, very emotional, or worse case, both. I have seen it first hand, and it is not pretty to watch someone you love very dearly get nearly killed. It was a turning point in my child hood and I am glad my Mom got out while she still could. I have had friends come to school/work with bruises they give excuses for. I've seen the difference between innocent accident bruises, and harmful caused bruises. The thing is not everyone can get out while they still can, and some have no where to go. They need help in the right direction and The National Domestic Violence Hotline is who they can call for this help.

Kristie is promising to donate $500 dollars once she sells 100,000th book! "For every 1,000 books sold past the 100,000 mark, up until July 30, 2012, I'll donate another $100." up to $2,000! That is amazing! This campaign Kristie is doing is for a very good cause I believe 110% in and I want to make a difference as much as I can. But we need as much help from others as well! This is where you lovelies come in. All you need to do it is Share the <3! Here is how!
