An Old Friend's Go Fund Me

 


Amy Nichter is one of several folks whom I have mentored as a writer over the years. She's good! In a burst of creativity, she wrote and published her first novel a couple of years ago. I then collaborated with her on a second. 

The problem is that while time has moved on, her computer hasn't. She and her husband packed up all their belongings and animals a few years back and took to the road, eventually settling on a plot of land they bought out west, raising a small menagerie. The money to get even an inexpensive laptop just isn't there. Here's what Amy says: 

Amy’s current computer is over ten years old, and it’s making it hard for her to finish and publish her books. She’s working on two major projects — a novelized testimony/autobiography and a re-release of her earlier work — and her computer is essential for research, formatting, and publishing. A reliable Dell Pro 15 would help her keep her work moving forward without constant technical issues.
Please consider sharing or donating if this cause speaks to you. Every bit helps Amy get her books into the world!

Creighton "Lon" Chaney, Jr.



He changed his mind. 


Pleased to hear he got those letters! I was one of those who wrote him when FAMOUS MONSTERS announced he was quite ill. I always wondered if he ever even saw the letters.

After his death Creighton...err...LON's body was donated to science.
