While I've never been there myself, I have worked with a few artists from the Philippines including :iconjohnbecaro: who is trying to aid the recovery effort by selling some of his original art pieces in order to raise money as seen here:

Now, I plan to donate some money myself, but I'm not really able to pull much money out of my funds at the moment.  So, I'm planning on donating half of the royalties I'll receive between now and December 25th to the recovery effort in the Philippines.  I'm going to include both Smashwords and Amazon royalties in this, but I'm going to post a link to my DrivethruRPG.com store. 


The reason: I have pretty much total control of what happens with the money in my Drivethru account as compared to Smashwords and Amazon which release funds on a specific schedule.

So, if you want to get some sci-fi/fantasy for Christmas and lend a little help to the Philippines as well, go ahead and check out my store below:

My ebooks are set to "pay what you want", meaning you can put any number from $0 to $1,000.00 if you want (my suggested price is $3.00 for the novels, the thousand is just a ridiculous randomly chosen large number.)  My suggestion is to go with the ebooks if you want to help the with the donations more than the book.  The paperback prices are mostly printing costs and my royalties on those are very small. 

Again, I am going to donate 50% of my royalties from now until Dec 25th to the Philippine's recovery effort.

Philippines have been getting the worst of luck maybe. Though if I send money the government might just take it. I'll stick with sending food and clothes. I pray for Philippines
