Images of childhood bullying often haunt us for the rest of our lives. Loved ones such as your friends, your children, or even you yourself may have been bullied, and this endless cycle of abuse leads to insecurity, fear, and even death. The Writer’s Lair Books is launching a 72-Hour “Books to the Rescue” Fundraiser starting at 12:01 EST TOMORROW May 26, 2011 and ending 11:59 PM EST May 28, 2011 to support the Severson Sisters Foundation, a foundation dedicated to ending bullying and inspiring girls towards authenticity and confidence. 

Our goal: Selling 300 books in 72 hours. 

Your mission, if you choose to accept it:

1. Post about this fundraiser on your blog.
2. Also, Tweet it, Facebook it, Stumble it, Email it, Text it, Pigeon Carrier it if you like
3. Grab and share our button.
4. Share “Books to the Rescue” with everyone you know (you friends, your family, your neighbors, your church, your co-workers, the random lady at the cleaners, the dog walker, your mailman, the UPS guy, the person in front of you at the Starbucks, the person pumping gas next to you at the station, you know--everyone!)

We know that helping young girls is motivation enough, but we thought we’d throw in some prizes to thank you for your help. At checkout, the buyer will list both ‘Severson Sisters Foundation’ and from which blog they heard about the fundraiser. From this data, we will tally the top three bloggers and award them one of the following prizes:

First Prize: $50 giftcard to Amazon.

Second Prize: A giftbasket including a signed copy of our book Flightless Goose, an audio CD, an illustory kit to publish your own children’s book, and other summertime goodies.

Third Prize: A copy of our exciting and fun novel entitled Shiva’s Arms, which dramatizes the clash of cultures in a family.
