Join a Love of My Life Book Club & Help Bring the Book to Life

by | Oct 21, 2024 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

“The Love of My Life – Sprinkling Love… One Donut at a Time.” I have dreamt of this book for ten years. The sequence of events that led to my book contract with Greenleaf Publishing Group in early 2024 is as magical as the love story itself (I will tell that part of the story in the book). Of course, any gift in support of the book is appreciated, however, I’ve created a few special categories for those willing and capable of making a larger gift. You can see those levels below. Each level comes with an added bonus.

Inspired by Amy Grant’s approach to fundraising for Nurture Centers with Compassion International, my goal is 21 book clubs with 21 members each at the #manuscript level.  (Why 21? Well, Maureen passed on Oct 21, 2014. I’ve delivered #powdereddonuts on 10/21 in remembrance for 10 years now to make it a day of joy, not just sadness. Recorded a personal message here.) Reaching 21 book clubs for the Love Of My Life will cover the cost to bring the book to life along with the 4 months I need to fully focus on finishing the manuscript for the book announcement in October! Whether monthly through Patreon or one-time through Venmo or PayPal, thank you. Thank you for being part of the journey of The Love Of My Life.
