So, after being beaten over the head prodded and poked by my lovely, gentle friends on Discord, I have added a goal to my Ko-Fi page to help with the cost of fixing the leaking gas lines in the basement.
I'm getting more quotes soon, but the initial quote we received was $12k, with a secondary quote of $15k. Yeah. Not looking too hopeful.
We'll be taking out a loan to cover it like we did with the furnace at the start of this year (yes that was this year) which we are on the brink of paying off, but we need to come up with a deposit so we can get on a monthly installment plan.
I've set a hopeful goal of $5k with no expectation of meeting it. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, but please, please, please, take care of yourselves first.

Alternatively, you can buy copies of my book, Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites, from any online retailer where books are sold, but if you want to make sure I get to keep 90% of my ebook royalties instead of 50-60% (or in the case of the audio books where I only get to keep 10%, thanks Audible/Spotify) you can buy them directly from my Payhip store.

If you already own the book but would like to give a copy away to a random person on Tumblr, I also have a donate pile. I'm setting up a similar pile for the audiobooks in the other tab as I type this.
I am in the process of adding printable gift cards to the store for those of you who said you would be interested, as well as photographing some of the physical art/merch that I keep saying I'm going to get around to posting.
Some of the drops will include some of the (lightly dented) copies of the limited edition Hunger Pangs hardback books, as well as a handful of signed paperbacks that I managed to unearth from my office this morning.
I have no idea when I'll have those photographed and uploaded, but I am working on it every spare moment I have.
If you've read this far, thank you, and again, please, please, please, if you're thinking of donating to the Ko-Fi, please take care of yourselves first. We'll be okay waiting a few months while we try to figure this out.
Although I have zero guilt over people wanting to buy my books or the merch. You should do it. It's great. And if you've never heard of my book before, you should read about it here, and if it sounds up your street, grab a copy or tell a friend about it. Word of mouth is what keeps authors afloat. Never underestimate the power of flailing to your friends about books. It's the stuff sequels are made of.
