Boosting the Signal: Tom Piccirilli
Oct. 3rd, 2012 08:29 amAuthor 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.
