Lose yourself in another world, do some good in this one

I think I mentioned this awhile back, but now that the book is just about to hit the store shelves, figured it would be a good time to bring it up again.

Author Mark L. Van Name has a new novel coming out next week called CHILDREN NO MORE. It deals with the theme of child soldiers, and what happens to them when the wars they're fighting are done.

Mark is donating 100% of the proceeds of the sale of the hardcover to an organization called Falling Whistles, that works to rehabilitate child soldiers. You can find out more at the Children No More website, here:

The story kept me up until 2am on a work night, because I couldn't put it down. I had to finish it. It's like earlier Jon and Lobo novels in the series, a fast-moving action story. The difference here is that if you buy the hardcover, you'll get a good tale to read for yourself, and you'll be doing something good for a kid who could really use the help.
