The book is now available to pre-order from the above website, or from the publishers, Bridge House Publishing on http://bridgehousepublishing.co.uk/100StoriesforHaiti.aspx (Publication date 4 March.)
It's a great cause and all profits will be going to the Red Cross so do buy it if you can. (£11.99 +P&P)
There will also be an ebook available to download shortly, so if the paperback is a bit pricey for you, you could buy that instead.
In case anyone was wondering how much of the proceeds from the paperback sale are going to the British Red Cross, I'm pasting a copy of Greg McQueen's answer to my question about that:
'If they buy it straight from the 100 Stories or Bridge House site, about 60% goes to charity. The remaining bit covers the production of the book. If they buy it from Amazon, it's more like 40%. So buying direct is better.'
If any TB'ers are considering buying it, that's roughly £7.20 if you buy it direct, or £4.79 if buying from Amazon.
Great post by Greg McQueen, about the ebook version of '100 Stories for Haiti' to be published by Smashwords. It's an interesting concept that the price is whatever the customer wants to pay! He also makes some good points about ebooks in general.

Thanks for adding it to the forum - the more people who see it the better.
It's being done at short notice due to the emergency nature of the situation.
Good luck if you sent a story.
Good luck with yours, littlewanda.
