As I reported HERE in November, the wildly amusing Patrick Rothfuss threw down the gauntlet to his fans—donate money to Heifer International and he would match it.
I also commented on Pat’s huge heart—watermelon-sized is the adjective I think I used.
I was wrong. The heart that thunders inside Pat is the size of a mack truck!
Patrick Rothfuss fans from all over the world have helped Pat raise more than $34,000 for Heifer International, an organization that helps end world hunger, fights poverty, and cares for the environment. Pat, of course, must match those proceeds. See what I mean by a massive heart?
Over the last few weeks, other writers have stepped forward to help Pat by giving rare items to stimulate more donations—and it has worked! In exchange for donations, Pat is giving many cool items for free as an incentive to those who donate. With the influx of these new items from various other writers, there are now hundreds of cool things to win by giving!
And you’ll feel pretty good anyway for donating whatever you can! So give, feel great about it, and get some cool stuff!
In other Patrick Rothfuss news, the Fantasy Hotlist has posted an exclusive excerpt to Wise Man’s Fear, the forthcoming sequel to The Name of the Wind! Check it out!
And after you finish reading, give… give… give… to Heifer International!
Tis the season, after all…
