HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT AUTHORS DONATING PROCEEDS
I noticed in the book Dark Canvas that the author had volunteered to donate some proceeds to the Fibromyalsia association. I can't decide whether I think this is cheesy or not. I guess it depends on the motivation for it.
On the other hand, motivation aside, I guess if some charity benefits what does it matter the intentions?

Why would it be cheesy? Giving to charity is NEVER cheesy.

I love the idea whether it is a form of marketing, humanitarianism or a combination of both.

I think it is a great idea..it gives people incentive to buy the author's book and helps a good cause. I may be biased, though, because I am donating 10% of profits from my debut novel Paranoia (search Paranoia Braun on amazon or bn) to the Twin Towers Orphan Fund (I can't post a link yet...but it's ttof dot org) since my novel is about a 9/11 survivor and his desire to return to a normal life after his fell apart following the attacks.
