*If you are looking for the 2nd Annual Banned Books Giveaway, click here.

The Wild at Heart Anthologies, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, are coming soon. The Diamond State Romance Authors are proud of this project which will benefit the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge (TCWR) in Arkansas. A national call for submissions proved that there are many authors who care about animals in need. The authors contributing to these books donated their work toward this effort.

Volume 1 consists of adult stories focused on large-animal rescue and/or the dangers of keeping one as a pet. Volume 2 consists of young adult stories. Again, all proceeds will benefit TCWR, and the books will be sold by TCWR in their bookstore and online.

I'd like to give a special shoutout to Delilah Devlin and Elle James who have worked many hours on this project. Elle designed the covers.  To see a checklist from Elle on how this process of creating a book worked, click here to read her post about it. at the DSRA blog.

The tigers pictured on the covers are residents of the facility. Missy is featured on the cover of Volume 1, and Loretta is the tiger model for Volume 2. Until the release date, go check out the awesome work done by http://www.turpentinecreek.org/ . There are more than tigers at TCWR: bears, bobcats, ligers, lions, and a cougar. We are excited about the opportunity to help these animals in need.
