If This Really Was Gotham City

     ...I'd appeal to Bruce Wayne for help and the closest thing we have to Harvey Dent is Robert Mueller and he's kind of busy at the moment.

     If any of you read my last fund raising post, you may remember that I had my food stamps shut off last autumn. To date, they haven't been reinstated due to some bureaucratic foul up at the MA Office of Transitional Assistance. This means that I'm forced to pay for food out of pocket whereas my former allotment covered that. And I'm still far from my next significant disbursement (half of which is eaten up by my predatory slumlord), meaning there is going to be way too much month left at the end of the money. And I haven't even begun shopping for Christmas dinner let alone presents because I’m more focused on keeping the lights and gas on and a roof over my head.

     The good news is that I’m wrapping up a new novel, a sequel to TATTERDEMALION entitled THE DOLL MAKER that I’m sure agents will be interested in seeing. Plus I have another agent looking at book one of the Scott Carson saga, so keep your fingers crossed for us.

     So please, please, please, any assistance you can spare this holiday season would be tremendously appreciated. I have less than $200 in the bank and less than $170 in Paypal. As is stands, the only way I'll made it this month is if I put January's rent money back in the bank and that's just going to roll back my monthly shortage until there won't be anything left to put back in the bank.
