Holidays For The Troops

Lori Foster and Laurie are heading up another Holidays For The Troops project!

This is a great thing and I, personally, can’t thank her enough for doing this. Here’s her post from her blog…

Hello everyone!
I know that no one wants to hear this, but the holidays are right around the corner!! For that reason, I am putting together another Holidays for the Troops project. I have high hopes of this being our most successful holiday campaign to date!

I think you all know the drill by now, but please humor me while I do a quick run-down for those who don’t. You send either items to be sent to the troops or checks, money orders or gift cards to be used to shop for the troops, I then put together shipments and send them out to servicemen and women in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This link - http://lorifoster.com/author/militarytribute.htm - will take you to the Military Tribute page on Lori Foster’s website, there you will find a complete list of suggested items in the event you would like to do your own shopping for the troops.
In return for your donation, your name will be added to a raffle for some wonderful prizes. While I haven’t decided on just how to put the prize packages together, these are the authors that I have heard from so far about donating books and/or other goodies:

Lori Foster: A t-shirt and tote bag from Cafepress, one arc of Causing Havoc, one copy each of A Very Merry Christmas, Jude’s Law, Murphy’s Law, Wildly Winston, When Good Things Happen to Bad Boys and Bad Boys of Summer

Dianne Castell: Three copies of Texas Bad Boys and other goodies

Becky Barker: Books

Karen Kelley: Books

Erin McCarthy: One copy of You Don’t Know Jack, one copy of High Stakes, two copies of The Night Before Christmas, and one copy of The Naked Truth

Jill Shalvis: A box of Aussie Rules for the raffle and to send to the troops

Shiloh Walker: Two copies of Hunting the Hunter, one for the raffle and one for the troops

Toni Blake: One copy of In Your Wildest Dreams and one copy of Taking Care of Business

LuAnn McLane: One copy of Dark Roots and Cowboy Boots, one copy of Hot Summer Nights and one copy (if she has her copies by then) of Love, Lust and Pixie Dust

Janice Maynard: One copy of Wildest Dreams and one copy of Suite Fantasy

Kelley Vitollo: One download of her ebook, Dream Man

Rita Raymond: Three bath & body gift baskets

Stacy Ahlgren: $25. gift certificate to Barnes & Noble

Alyson Hackett of Mucky’s Morsels online bakery is donating the following raffle prize: 1 dozen Seven Sinful Layers, 1 Dozen Chocolate Chip and 1 dozen Mint Brownies. Check Mucky’s Morsels out here - (be prepared to drool):

Laurie: $25. gift certificate to Gooseberry Patch online country store - go have a look: http://www.gooseberrypatch.com/

Other authors have expressed an interest, but haven’t yet indicated how they wish to help. I will be adding to this list as I have further details.

The raffle drawing will be held on October 31st.

I especially enjoy these holiday shipments because I can add boxes of cards for the troops to send to their friends and families, as well as holiday music, lights and decorations. Cards and letters from those who donate are hugely appreciated and always commented on. It is incredibly heartwarming and rewarding.
I am hopeful that if you have a blog you might mention this project and provide my information. Please let any authors that you’re acquainted with know about this exciting project!
There is absolutely nothing political about this project. It is simply a show of support for the men and women who serve our country.
Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks bunches,
Laurie
