Boosting the Signal: Tom Piccirilli

[lagilman]

Author Tom Piccirilli was diagnosed last month with brain cancer. Surgery to remove the tumor went well on Monday, but it's still a long road ahead, and immense medical bills piling up. Inevitably, they're under a lot of stress, physical, emotional and financial.

Please don't use this as an opportunity to rail against/bitch about the US healthcare system (Pic, like many freelancers, doesn't have insurance). If you feel the urge, and can afford to, put a few dollars toward his treatment, instead.

I suspect his family would not be offended by prayers/good vibes sent their way, either.


You can also help out by buying books.

For the rest of 2012, ChiZine Publications is generously donating all proceeds from e-book sales of his novella Every Shallow Cut directly to him for his medical expenses, and Crossroad Press will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of all Tom Piccirilli titles to the author directly.

Sorry to learn of the poor person's problem. My nephew had a similar operation about 10 years ago. He is still alive and active although the tumour has returned and cannot be operated on this time because it is too deep. He is on chemo but is doing fine and is able to live on his own. Please God all will work out fine.

No bitching about the medical system. But.

*Fuck* cancer.
