Support Wildfire Evacuees in Fort McMurray

Many of you know I'm Canadian. Many of you may also have seen the latest news from Canada, that a massive wildfire forced the evacuation of Fort McMurray last week. It's a sizeable town of eighty thousand people and they only had an hour's notice to grab what they could and crawl out of town through thick smoke, raining embers, and gridlock.

That was last week and the disaster is far from over. Aside from first responders, no one has yet been allowed to return. It will be weeks. Entire neighbourhoods are gone and basic infrastructure like water and electricity must be restored.

The town serves the oil sands in Northern Alberta, which employs people from across Canada, so some people had family to go to in other parts of the country. Thousands, however, are stuck in emergency shelters with only those few possessions they were able to grab in the twenty minutes they had before making a harrowing escape. (See footage here.)

I desperately wanted to help and, as luck would have it, I happen to have a firefighter book in the works. Scorch comes out June 14th and it seems apropos to donate my author proceeds from pre-orders to the Red Cross Alberta Fire Appeal.

I hope you'll help by pre-ordering Scorch. The blurb and links are below. You can read the first two chapters in my last newsletter here.

I hope you'll help.
