Help Support Our Veterans with PTSD

MPBooks — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 23:48:46 +0000

In anticipation of the release of my latest novel, THE LAST SURGEON, we will be hosting the Books & Bands Fundraiser to benefit the Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Home Base Program in support of our veterans suffering from PTSD. The party will be held at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston — an evening full of books, auctions, music, great food, and appearances by some of the country’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.

Here is a video of my official announcement…

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’s a great event for a great cause. You can purchase tickets by visiting the LiveNation website.

For those who can’t make it, I encourage you to help spread the word. Between today and February 16th, 2010, I’ll be conducting a little fundraiser of my own via social media. It’s free to participate and a great way to help out.

Here’s how it works:

1.) I’ll donate $1 to the Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Home Base Program for every additional Facebook Fan 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 — it’s an easy way to help a great cause.

2.) For you Twitter users, I’ll also be donating an additional $1 for all followers who adopt THE LAST SURGEON Twibbon. If you have a Twitter profile, simply click here to get started.

I would love it if you could help out in some way to support this event. If you cannot attend, I’d appreciate it very much if you could help pass along this message to contacts who might be of interest.

Warm Regards,
Michael Palmer
