Buy a Book, Help Rescue Children

January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and today—January 11—is Human Trafficking Awareness Day.

Some of you may be wondering why I, a writer of darkly comedic thrillers and satirical ramblings, would bother to bring up the topic of human trafficking on my blog. Well, because my latest novel, In Wolves’ Clothing, centers around the hellish world of sex slavery. Of course, now some of you may be wondering why a comedic author would go anywhere near such a topic in a book. Well, my therapist and I are still trying to get to the bottom of that.

But I didn’t come here to talk about my mental health. I came here to tell you I’ll be donating 100 percent of the proceeds from this month’s sales of In Wolves’ Clothing to Operation Underground Railroad (OUR). OUR is an incredible organization dedicated to rescuing child victims of sex trafficking across the globe. (FYI: The main character in my novel is actually loosely based on a former undercover OUR team member.)

The point is, now would be a great time to to buy a copy of IWC—either the paperback or the Kindle version. If you already have a copy, now would be a great time to buyanother one … and to tell everyone you know to get a copy of their own. Each purchase directly supports the critical work OUR does … and will save me from the embarrassment of having to write them a check containing only decimals at the end of the month. (Again, every cent I earn from IWC sales in January will go to OUR.)

In case you need a little more of a push before diving into a book like In Wolves’ Clothing, check out what reviewers are saying about it:

"A truly original and enthralling novel. Levin's blazing prose and acerbic wit capture the madness and the humanity of working undercover in the darkest corners.”

"With a thriller's pace and twists, the novel grabs you and won't let go. And it goes deep.”

“A sharp novel, both in action and in style, with fabulous dialogue and a flawed hero you’ll love.”

“A powerful, heartbreaking yet inspirational masterpiece.”

Whether or not you buy my book, I encourage you to visit OUR’s website and to follow them on Facebook and/or Twitter to learn more about what they do, the tremendous impact they’ve had, and the ambitious goals they aim to accomplish going forward in their fight against child sex trafficking.

Thank you very much for your time and for your attention to this important issue.
