Charity Anthology

Charity Anthology: Unconditional Love (to benefit the Rolling Dog Ranch)

Tease Publishing is putting together 2 charity anthologies for the Rolling Dog Ranch (http://www.rollingdogranch.org),

A non-profit organization that takes in and cares for animals with special needs. While no animal is turned away at RDR, their indigenous population is mainly dogs, cats and horses, all with severe handicaps such as neurological issues, Spinal problems, missing limbs, blindness, deafness and other extremely debilitating problems that animals cannot survive with without care.

They have a large ranch facility and rely on the donations sent in from several sources, but as most NPO’s go, they are only scraping by.  The owners are very active with their animals and keeping the website up to date with the progress as well as putting out both electronic newsletters and a monthly print one about the welfare of the regular and new additions to the RDR family, and we at Tease Publishing feel this is a just and worthy cause to contribute to.

All proceeds from the sale of this book will go towards the Rolling Dog Ranch, to help provide for these special animals. With 40 dogs, a 300 square foot building that’s a  Cat house for their ever growing cat population, 25  blind horses and at least two donkeys, we feel they need all the help they can get. We would love to be able to help them, and we need your help to do it!

Tease Publishing is asking for submissions from animal lovers from all walks of life in both the fiction and the non-fiction genres to help build this anthology. Stories can be anywhere from 5k to 45k and must involve an animal in some way (but not hurt or dead… unless its in a positive manner).

Give us your shifter stories, your sweet romances where an animal brings the couple together, your mysteries, your ghost stories, Sci-fi’s, personal memoirs, chick lit, general fiction… anything that involves those who give unconditional love: animals!

This anthology will be in both E book and Print simultaneously, and will be available at ARe, FW and all online print booksellers, as well as available to brick and mortar stores. All proceeds will go to the Rolling Dog Ranch.
