The Tip Jar

I've been meaning to do this for a while. I've added a small feature, a "tip jar". No more offensive (hopefully) than the jars baristas put out on their windowsills. You know the ones I'm talking about? The large mason jars with the words "Tips" written in big, bubble letters and surrounded by hearts and shooting stars and smiley faces? Yeah, that's my tip jar.

Why do I need a tip jar at all if I'm selling my novel? Easy! Unlike many indie authors, I've made Farro available to read online for free. If you want to, you could read Farro, lurk on my blog (I see you!), and then disappear forever. Well, that's fine, I shouldn't have my book available for free if I didn't expect otherwise. But hey, maybe if you've liked what you've read and you'd like to support an author who is anti-DRM, creative commons friendly, and who will try to always have her work up for free perusal, then maybe you'll consider throwing a couple coins at that big flashy button over there.

Each donation will mean something. Fifty cents is a ear of corn for me to barbecue (thanks!). Two bucks is a cup of coffee on a cold morning (thanks!). Five bucks is a movie from a discount bin at Target (I love those things!).

This is for my younger readers, who maybe can't afford a e-reader or a trade paper copy but who have still read and liked Farro. Thank you ma'am or sir, keep reading, and keep supporting the authors who in turn support you.

(Sulfur Update: Eight chapters, going strong. I just got to an exciting part, so I'm having fun!)
