Celebrating A Second Charity Release For The Serendipity Authors

Today at our Cyber Launch Party Blog, we're celebrating a new charity anthology.

Serendipity is a project founded by Jason Daniel Kowalczyk. The project is a book series that will feature the works of unknown authors, artists, poets, and photographers with all proceeds going to charity. The mission is to give exposure to unknown artists, authors, poets, and photographers while giving back to help charities.

SERENDIPITY: Volume Two

By William P. Pierson, Jason Daniel Kowalczyk, Candy McFarland, Kendra Craig, Tatyana Bolotina, Liliana West, Melissa Tetreault-Kowalczyk

It all began with an idea. Jason Daniel Kowalczyk wanted to spotlight new authors and have them help create something to help out a different Charity every year. Once again, Jason brings you "Serendipity." Last year, Serendipity's royalties when to help the Ronald McDonald House, and this year, all royalties will go to Toys-for-Tots. The Serendiptiy Team would like to thank you for your help and hope that you enjoy the works of the authors who generously wanted to help out this charity.

  1. Good morning - happy Sunday to you and super congrats on the release of a new Serendipity collection!!!

    I love the concept you have of putting out a new anthology of short stories as a charity project each year to support a different and very worthy charity each year.

    Jason, can you please tell us a bit more about the project as a whole?

    And authors, welcome! Please stop in and tell us a bit about your contribution to the anthology and a bit about yourself and what other projects you might have available.

    Enjoy your party, congrats on your release and I hope Serendipity Two exceeds your expectations!

  2. Good morning, All.

    Thanks,

  3. Thank you so much. The very beginnings of the project came about when I was trying to come up with a project that even my 10 year old daughter could read. It then evolved into something that would donate all proceeds to charity.

    I also decided to bring in other authors, thanks to discussions with William P. Pierson. We decided that we would make it a yearly release, with a different charity for each book.

    I dedicated the project as a whole to my father, who passed away from Lung Cancer in 2009.

    Last years release donated all of its proceeds to the Ronald McDonald house, and Toys for Tots seemed like a natural fit for this year. Next year's release will be going to the World Wildlife Fund.

    I am extremely proud of this project, and the authors that have come together to help me make it what it is today.

  4. Thank you, Tracy. The charity is a big part, but so is getting some light shed on some authors that my have never been published up until this moment. The project grows each year. We had some return this year, Rickey Russell, William Pierson, Melissa (Who I just married on the 11th). We also grew a bit by receiving submissions from Maya Gunawan, Kendra, and Tatyana. I look forward to how it will grow next year.

  15. Thank you Debby and Chey. Debby, the feedback that I have gotten from the authors is very positive. Many who were apart of the first volume returned for the second, and I am sure they, as well as the new, will be appearing in future volumes.
