Sample Chapters Available For Purchase

Welcome back, sportsfans!

So, in this edition of the Ekhaya times, I am opening up a new offer. I've had a lot of people asking about the book, how things are going, what the whole deal is about... so now's your chance. The deal is this.

The manuscript is roughly 130 typewritten pages long, single-spaced font. Typical printing cost, roughly $13 to $15 CAD. Shipping on a document that size, about $7. Minimum cost to send that document to ONE publishing company... about $20. Here's the catch. If I don't manage to secure an agent for the book, how many publishing companies will I have to send the manuscript to before I find one that will take it?

If you click on the Donate button below, you will be prompted for a $5 donation. Out of this $5, half will go straight into my bank account to help pay the costs of promoting my manuscript. The other half will be put in a separate account which will then be forwarded to my friends at Obs House in South Africa. This money, for them, can be used to do anything from buying toiletries and clothes to having the small treat of a chocolate bar or a trip to the townships to visit their families. Keep in mind that the current exchange rate is one Canadian dollar (or 0.96 USD)  to 7.17 South African rand, so every bit counts!

ALSO, in exchange for the donation that you're making to the promotional fund, if you send me your Email address, I will send you you an electronic 25 page sample chapter of Ekhaya - the same sample that is being sent to literary agents across the country right now.

IN SUMMARY: One $5 CAD donation buys you a sample chapter of Ekhaya, a yet-unpublished manuscript, and makes a small donation to help some people who are far away, but who definitely deserve it! And don't forget to include your Email address! You can Email them to me here, or leave them in a comment at the bottom of this page!

Click on the Donate button below to make your $5 donation now!

OR, if you don't feel like $5 is enough, click on this second button to enter your own donation amount! As with the $5 donations, half will go to South Africa, and the other half into the promotional fund for Ekhaya!

Thank you so much, in advance. You don't know how much of a difference this will make in my life, as well as in the lives of others. And don't forget to contact me with your Email addresses! You can Email them to me here, or leave them in a comment at the bottom of this page!

All my love, sportsfans.
Over and out.
