GOOD NEWS...we've collected almost $1500 from the sale of SOUTHERN REVIVAL to donate to First Book! That's more than half of what we'd hoped to collect, and well in advance of when we thought we'd collect it. That $1500 will make it possible for 3000 brand-new books to be distributed to libraries in the process of rebuilding across the hurricane-devastated Gulf Coast region.
