Nepal in Need

After a devastating earthquake and several subsequent aftershocks much of the country of Nepal is in shambles.  Thousands have been killed and many more injured.  Search and rescue teams have recovered many injured people and they are now on the road to recovery, but over the next month Nepal’s dire needs will disappear from the World’s radar and people will forget that there are many people there that are now homeless and struggling merely to survive.

Here’s what you can do to help.  Go to your favorite online retailer and purchase any of the following books before May 31st and Kingsmuir Press and the book’s author will donate their share of the sale to the relief efforts in Nepal.  This offer applies to both paperback and e-books.  We are excited to do what we can to help in this very unfortunate situation.  Get  yourself a sweet summer read or two and help the relief efforts.  It’s a win-win situation!
