Some of you may remember me mentioning the different charities that I'd planned on donating to this year with my royalties. Well, I've decided to let you all get involved.

I've really enjoyed the prompt challenge over at the Goodreads M/M Romance Group and this will be my third year participating (and the first year that I'll end up having two stories in the anthology!). It gave me an idea. And while my WIP list is already looooooong, this gives me a chance to give back not only to you, but to one of my favorite charities.

For the month of June I'm going to have a charity donation giveaway competition of sorts. What that means is that you, the readers (and maybe even some authors -shrugs- who knows?) are going to make pledges to donate to: St. Jude's Children's Hospital. The person who, by the end of the month, pledges to donate the most and forwards me your "confirmation of donation" email will be able to create their own "Vicktor Alexander" book.

This means that you and I will chat, and have extensive conversations as you give me the following details for your book:

Genres (paranormal, contemporary, historical, fantasy, science fiction, etc.)
Pairing (M/M, M/M/M, M/M/M/M+)
Main Character Names
Main Character Descriptions
Book Location
Major Conflict
Taboos: Yes or No (if yes, which one(s)? Remember there are some things that I absolutely will NOT write. If you win, we'll discuss it.)
HEA/HFN/Bittersweet Ending
Series: Yes or No (if yes, what's the series name and the overall arc? Is it a part of one of my already created series? If so, which one?)

And when the book is complete, submitted, and accepted at a publisher I will let you be the one to help me fill out the Cover Art Request form to help design the cover by finding the pictures online that closely resemble the main characters (I am not guaranteeing that those images will be used or that the cover you envision will be the one that I get, that is completely up to the publisher that ends up accepting the story, but, I'll do my best to get you a great cover!). You, the winner, will also be a character in the book-complete with dialogue and interaction with the main characters.

So, why am I telling you now? To prepare you and get you ready. Don't start pledging now. Pledging doesn't begin until June 1, 2014 12:00am EST , but you have almost an entire month to get your ideas together for your story, and prepare yourself to make your pledge.

To find out more about St. Jude's, as well as their donation page: GO HERE. DONATE.

And if you don't win? Fret not, I have decided to do this four times a year. Once every three months so that my donation to each of the four charities that I'm donating to each year will receive the extra exposure and the added donation. So if you don't win in June, I'll be running the competition again in August and October.

Are you guys excited? I am! Keep your eyes on The Purple Fantasy Den for the day the competition opens, because that's when I'll give all of the rules and directions in more detail.
