Australia Burns

Today it is my pleasure to welcome the collection of stories called “Australia Burns.”

Stories in this collection have been contributed by authors who care about Australia and the relief efforts from the devastating bushfires. All profits from the books will be donated to charities involved with the recovery efforts. The publisher and authors are not affiliated with the charities.

A personal note:

I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Australia a while back when my daughter studied there for a semester.  It’s a fascinating country (and continent) and I was totally taken in by the blunt helpful optimism that is the cultural norm. It broke my heart to see the extent of these wild fires, so let me add one more voice encouraging you to buy these books and to help in any way you can.
