			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In anticipation of the release of my latest novel, THE LAST SURGEON, we will be hosting the <a href="http://www.homebaseprogram.org/events/bb/">Books &#038; Bands Fundraiser</a> to benefit the <a href="http://www.homebaseprogram.org/index.html">Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Home Base Program</a> in support of our veterans suffering from PTSD. The party will be held at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston &#8212; an evening full of books, auctions, music, great food, and appearances by some of the country&#8217;s best writers, including Lee Child, Tess Gerritsen, Gary Braver, Lisa Gardner, Joseph Finder, Andre Dubus III, Mark Vonnegut, William Martin, Sandra Lee, and Hank Phillippi Ryan.</p>
<p>Here is a video of my official announcement&#8230;</p>
<p><center><object width="400" height="300" ><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/283869277397" /><embed src="http://www.facebook.com/v/283869277397" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"></embed></object></center></p>
<p>If you are from the New England area, I would be thrilled if you could attend. All ticket proceeds and a portion of the book sales will benefit the Home Base PTSD Program. It&#8217;s a great event for a great cause. You can purchase tickets by visiting the <a href="http://www.livenation.com/edp/eventId/416722">LiveNation website</a>.</p>
<p>For those who can&#8217;t make it, I encourage you to help spread the word. Between today and February 16th, 2010, I&#8217;ll be conducting a little fundraiser of my own via social media. It&#8217;s free to participate and a great way to help out.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it works:</p>
<p>1.) I&#8217;ll donate $1 to the Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Home Base Program for every additional <a href="http://www.facebook.com/michaelpalmerthrillers">Facebook Fan</a> I acquire until book launch on February 16th, 2010. I encourage you to spread the word and to suggest for your friends to become fans &#8212; it&#8217;s an easy way to help a great cause.</p>
<p>2.) For you Twitter users, I&#8217;ll also be donating an additional $1 for all followers who adopt THE LAST SURGEON Twibbon. If you have a Twitter profile, simply <a href="http://twibbon.com/cause/HomeBase-PTSD-Fundraiser/Join">click here</a> to get started.</p>
<p>I would love it if you could help out in some way to support this event. If you cannot attend, I&#8217;d appreciate it very much if you could help pass along this message to contacts who might be of interest.</p>
<p>Warm Regards,<br />
Michael Palmer</p>
