Save The Quiet Kitty Contest and Celebrity Auction

Want to get some really cool stuff?

Read on to find out how!

Natural disasters like floods, fires, and disability often hit without warning, leaving chaos in their wake. When a crisis hits our friends, we all want to help. The Save The Quiet Kitty Fund is here to help authors in crisis.

From time to time, many of us have organized a short-term pool to help an author in crisis -- short-term crises that called for short-term solutions. The Save The Quiet Kitty Fund is designed to be a longer-term solution.

Our friend Camille Anthony was diagnosed in 1989 with Pulmonary Sarcoidosis, caused by exposure to asbestos while an employee of the State of California. (There is a pending class action lawsuit against the State of California which has been in Pre-Trial hearings for almost a decade.) Camille is now a full time author with no health insurance. She's in stage four of Pulmonary Sarcoidosis and can't get health insurance because of this pre-existing condition.

Oxygen and hospital bills, as well as other medical expenses, are long-term needs. The irony is, Camille makes just enough residual income from her writing to keep her from being eligible for Medicaid. Since Medicaid turned her down, ongoing medical tests will run as hi as $1800 each – all out of pocket.

We hope to raise enough money, with your support, to not only cover Camille's current medical expenses, but to help other authors in crisis.

To help in this quest, various authors around the world are donating items for a Celebrity Auction. All proceeds will go into the Save the Quiet Kitty fund to be used for authors in need. Details of how to enter the auction will be published in a few days. Check out some of the things that will be offered!
