Nothing But Red
Good Monday, everyone! I am pleased and proud to announce that the Nothing But Red anthology, with my essay Half of Humanity Is Worth Less Than A Chair, is now available!
Nothing But Red, the anthology of literary and visual arts inspired by the impassioned plea of Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon in response to the “honor killing†of 17-year-old Du’a Khalil Aswad, is now available for purchase. Sales of the anthology, which is currently available in multiple formats, will benefit the international human rights organization Equality Now.
The 313-page collection, which can be purchased as a trade paperback for $15.95 or as a pdf-format e-book for $5.95, is being released on the one-year anniversary of the death of Aswad. An Iraqi adherent of the Yazidi religion, Aswad was stoned to death by family members and neighbors; her brutal beating and murder was captured in a graphic video and spread on the Internet. (from the press release)
About the anthology: all proceeds are going to benefit Equality Now, but it will not be sold on Amazon in the foreseeable future due to the recent uncertainty over Amazon’s attempted control of the “long-tail” and small POD publishers. This actually works out to the price being the same but the charity getting a bit more money, so please don’t let that stop you from picking it up.
I’m so excited this is finally available. I look forward to hearing what you think of it.
