Buy "Bryony;" Help Haiti orphans

This Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Bryony will be at Judson Memorial Baptist Church, 2800 Black Road, Joliet, as part of Mike Tackebury's giant garage sale to help Haiti orphans.

For the last two years, Mike, the father of seven children, has hosted a garage sale of donated items at his home to help children orphaned by the Haiti earthquake of 2010. The event has been so successful, it has outgrown his garage.

Mike's goal is $10,000 and to jumpstart that amount, Mike hosted a Battle of the Bands fundraiser in April. Thanks to an invitation to Mike to come out with Bryony, 10 percent of all Bryony book sales that day will be donated back to Mike's cause.

If you haven't bought a copy of Bryony yet, if you know someone who likes a gothic vampire story, or even if you'd just like to help out an orphan or two, this weekend is a perfect opportunity to purchase the novel...and to obtain some deals on a variety of other terrific merchandise, too.

Questions about the event? The story links below provide plenty of background information. You may also message me at bryonyseries@gmail.com.

Hope to see you there!
