Hello,
I'm excited to announce that my publisher and I will be 'paying it forward' with
Gooseberry Island this holiday season (details below).
Our hope is to give away as many copies of
Gooseberry Island as possible!
Thanks so much!

A special request
Let's get viral.
Steven Manchester's next book will be out on January 6, 2015. Voted one of the Must Read Books of 2015 by Cyrus
Webb Presents, Gooseberry Island is sure to be the next
hit from one of our #1 bestselling authors. The book looks at the
budding relationship between Lindsay and David, who have to deal with
David's deployment overseas and his recovery from the
trauma he witnessed in the service of his country.
PTSD is one of the biggest problems facing soldiers as they return from
war. As an experienced veteran himself, Steven Manchester understands
that. That's why, during the promotion of this book, Steven and The
Story Plant are going to be working toward helping
returning veterans. And we need your help to do that.
From now until January 31, 2015, we will donate $1 to the Wounded Warrior Project for every copy of Gooseberry Island that is pre-ordered and sold. All you have to do is email us
a copy of your receipt and we will make the donation. In addition to
that, we will also donate a copy of the e-book to returning soldiers,
one donation for each copy sold.
Here's the really important part - we need your help to spread the word
about this campaign! Tell your neighbors, tell your family members, tell
the person working the checkout line in the grocery story. Just tell as
many people as you can and ask them to help
spread the word too. We want this campaign to go viral! Let's do
something good this holiday season and celebrate those who protect and
serve our country!
You can read more about Gooseberry Island at our website. It is available for sale at Amazon, Barnes
& Noble, iBooks, Kobo,
and IndieBound.

Book Review
Gooseberry Island: "Mr. Manchester handles
[PTSD] with great compassion. He brings to life the hardships that are
suffered by our returning servicemen. His characters have depth and the
story is compelling. It is not only a novel,
it helps to inform the reader of the difficulties experienced and the
silent life and death struggle that goes on every day around us." -From Book
Bug Blog

Book Review
Gooseberry Island: "This author did a
wonderful job with this novel showing how war can change a person and
how so many of these military people die of suicide and bringing to life
the many hardships along with disorders(PTSD) that
are suffered by many of our returning military men and women." -From Arlena, Goodreads member
