The contributors have been selected, and we are
thrilled with the quality and variety of prose and poetry for our first annual Nature’s
Gifts anthology. More than twenty pieces, from haiku to
villanelles, from essays to short stories, will delight nature lovers
everywhere. Take a walk in a garden or hike in a national park. Reflect on the
moon. Learn something new. Laugh—and cry—with our writers as they discover the
beauty, the joys, and the raw power of nature.
The
Nature Conservancy will receive a donation of 50 percent of the profits for
every book sold in both print and e-book editions for one year. Dedicated to
protecting our rapidly vanishing natural environment, The Nature Conservancy
has protected more than 117 million acres of land in 28 countries.

Vanilla Heart Publishing is pleased to support our authors in Operation E-Book Drop
UPDATE! Our Vanilla Heart Publishing OEBD Participating Authors have topped 579 free ebook downloads to deployed troops!
Men and women of our Coalition Forces are away from home and putting themselves on the line for the rest of us. No matter what our personal political beliefs are, honoring our men and women as they sacrifice their own time, safety, and energies, to say the least, for all of us, seems a small price to pay.
What is Operation E-Book Drop?
Then the wonderful staff at Smashwords found out about this effort and decided to promote the program - Smashwords authors can use special coupon codes to send the members of the Coalition Forces so they can download books to their reading devices. Since Smashwords offers books in several ebook formats (including Kindle, Palm, .pdf and more), books are readable on all reading devices and even with a web browser.
