And here is a link to an update on the Patrick Rothfuss/ Lee Moyer calendar for 2013!  The calendar is sold as an fundraiser for Heifer International. This is not, as some thought, a charity to benefit animals, but one that supplies farm animals such as heifers, goats, pigs and chickens to families to enable them to lift their standard of living.  It’s a charity that keeps on giving, as the gifted families then extend your gift by passing on some of the animal’s offspring to other families.  It’s a great charity, and a wonderful calendar!  I’m proud to say that one of my characters will be featured in the 2013 calendar.
