Help Cecilia Tan Make a Donation Thanks for visiting my web site. If you know anything about the typical life of a fiction writer, you know it is not a lucrative business except for a few superstar writers like Anne Rice and Stephen King. The best way you can support my writing is to buy my books. BLACK FEATHERS (HarperCollins) and THE VELDERET (Circlet Press) are both in print and of course this site will say when there are others, as well. I encourage you to buy them from your local bookseller, but you might have better luck finding them at Amazon.com. If you've already got the books in hand, and you want to help further, I do accept donations. If you've enjoyed the essays on the site, the fiction samples, or just poking around my private life, please send whatever you think your time is worth. TIME magazine is $2.95--do I rate with a newsweekly? Renting a DVD is about $4, did you enjoy my site that much? Downloading a newspaper article these days is about $1. Was there one helpful essay for you? PayPal has decided that they will not accept donations for me anymore because some of what I write may be considered "adult." Horrors. This is apparently against their policy, despite the fact that I do not actually sell anything through my web site, and that the site is not adult or pornographic. Go figure. So you'll have to do it the traditional way, i.e. sending cash or check to me in the mail. US dollars only, please: Cecilia Tan c/o Circlet Press 1770 Mass. Ave. #278 Cambridge, MA 02140 Someday if I reach the heights of Anne Rice or Stephen King, I'll post here saying I'm closed to donations and ask you to donate to the National Writers Union or some other worthy cause instead. But right now, every dollar counts! Thanks for your support! -Cecilia Tan Copyright © 2003 Cecilia Tan
