Holiday Promotion Benefits Crisis Fund

Percentage of proceeds from author's book sales benefit injured rodeo athletes.

Pendleton, OR, November 08, 2014 --(PR.com)-- In an effort to raise funds and awareness for the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund™, Oregon author Shanna Hatfield is kicking off a promotional campaign November 10 that will run through December 24.

During that time, Hatfield is committed to donating a portion of the proceeds from all her book sales to the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund™.

To get the ball rolling, more than fifty bloggers will host Hatfield on their websites that week.

The author will also release the third book in the popular Hardman Holidays series, "The Christmas Calamity," Nov. 13 with a Facebook launch party and prize giveaway.

Hatfield’s interest in the JCCF stirred when she began researching details for the first book in her Rodeo Romance series, "The Christmas Cowboy." The story features Tate Morgan, a saddle bronc rider set on earning a World Champion title, and Kenzie Beckett, a corporate trainer for a direct sales company. They meet by chance at the airport and the romance takes flight.

“In the story, Tate is injured at a rodeo. Attempting to get my facts straight for the book, I reached out to the Justin Sportsmedicine Team®. Through mobile medical centers, they provide care at more than 125 PRCA rodeos annually. Their response to my questions was extremely helpful and I was so impressed with them, I wanted to do a little something in return,” Hatfield said. “The Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund provides assistance to professional rodeo athletes who’ve been seriously injured and may be out of work for an extended period of time. Information about JCCF is included at the back of 'The Christmas Cowboy' with a link to their website, but I wanted to do more than just mention the fund in my book.”

After contacting the JCCF, Hatfield offered to donate to the fund in 2013 and decided to extend her donation period for 2014. “Now through December 24, 10 percent of the net proceeds from all my book sales will be donated directly to the JCCF. I would sincerely love to write them a nice check at the end of December.”

Hatfield began writing western romances in February 2010 and her works first published in June 2011 when The Women of Tenacity series debuted. She followed those stories with the Grass Valley Cowboys series, the bestselling Pendleton Petticoats series, and a soon-to-be-released Baker City Brides series. The Christmas Calamity is her 28th book.

“People who enjoy a western setting with a happy ending seem to like reading the stories I write,” said Hatfield. “I want people to read my books and feel like they’ve made a new friend.”

Hatfield blogs about her adventures in fiction writing, publishing, and promotion at shannahatfield.com. A graduate from Southern Oregon University with a bachelor’s degree in communications, Hatfield spent ten years as a newspaper journalist before switching gears into marketing. She left the corporate world behind in 2013 to pursue writing full-time.
