For Cory's Sake is my fantasy novel, about a planet called Cory and one family's struggle to free it from slavery.
Cory's themes were influenced by a real-world issue; and I also blog about this real-world issue, with a focus on awareness and action.
I've bookended the sidebar with Awareness and Action. On the bottom, a Google News stream based on the search term "child abuse"--reminds me that the problem is real.
Featured at the top are organizations that are "doing something about it." All royalties, from sales of For Cory's Sake, are donated to programs that serve abused, neglected or exploited children.
And just for fun and fantasy, Cory's main family hosts their "social network" on this blog as well. Jeffrey usually instigates, and you can usually count on him to keep things light--his sibs don't call him Fluffrey for nothing!
Finally, if you enjoy micro-blogging and the openness of the Twitterverse, I yak in 140 characters or less about writing; "who's doing what" to help kids; whatever American sport is currently in season; and my cat--@ForCorysSake.
Splendid interview, Carolyn! Best of luck with your book!
