(ContentDesk) November 8, 2005 -- Author Jeannette Angell has announced that until the end of the year she will donate 100% of her profits from the sale either of her memoir, "Callgirl" (Permanent Press, 2004, HarperCollins Perennial, 2005) or of her novel "The Illusionist," (iUniverse, 2000) to the relief agency Medecins Sans Frontieres in order to help victims of disasters worldwide."As individuals, there is so little we can do, and yet every bit counts," the author notes. "Perhaps this will encourage people to consider my books as holiday gifts that will help people in need - and perhaps also help other creative people find innovative ways of raising much-needed funds for these organizations."One way to help right now is to purchase one of her books, whether from her Web site, through an online bookseller, or at a local bookstore. "Not all of the book price filters down to me!" Angell laughs. "But whatever I receive, I will pass on."Medecins Sans Frontieres is an independent humanitarian aid agency committed to two objectives: providing medical aid wherever needed, regardless of race, religion, politics or sex, and raising awareness of the plight of people (we) help. For more information about this extraordinary organization, visit the Web site at http://www.msf.org.Jeannette Angell is the author of a number of novels and short stories, a memoir, and nonfiction articles, essays, and books.
"The major thrust of my work is for us all - writer, readers, characters - to realize our own common humanity. We all try to do what is right, and as a community, we need to support, rather than judge, one another." For more information about the author and her work, visit her Web site at http://www.JeannetteAngell.com."Callgirl" was a finalist for the Booksense 2004 nonfiction Book of the Year award, was translated into fifteen languages and has been optioned for a television series. Jeannette Angell has appeared on the Montel Williams show, Anderson Cooper 360, and The View, as well as on myriad local television and radio programs.
