Charity is only part of it

Rachel Caine has put an old book of hers up for free download. The book is no longer in print and it is a very early one of hers, but she has added a new and interesting twist to the "I'll give it for free but please donate if you would" scenario.

She says " You can pay whatever you like, I’m not bothered. And if you can’t afford anything, that’s fine too.

If I get a really good response -- $1,000 or more in total donated by the end of 2009 -- I will donate HALF of the proceeds to the Kids Need to Read Foundation."
That's a generous offer and one worth supporting in my opinion.
Not all artists need extra support. It seems that Rachel Caine is one of those and so, she is testing the waters and doing a good deed at the same time. Good for her.
