Author Finds Novel Way to Help with Humanitarian Aid
(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.

Rescue Dogs Make Sweet Treats and Aid In Rescue Efforts
Beagle Brothers' Delights, a gourmet, all-natural dog treat barkery, has created a new treat that will have tails waggin'.
Bow-Wow Bars are the latest craze sweeping the dog treat market this year.
Nichole Garmon, owner of Beagle Brothers' Delights, decided that her dogs' love for sweets could be converted to a dog-safe treat for canines everywhere.
"I never let my dogs have any type of candy, but they would always go nuts for anything that smelled sweet" says Garmon.
"So, I decided that they needed a 'candy' bar all their own."
With three flavors and sizes to choose from, Bow-Wow Bars have enticed even the finicky dogs to take a sample.
Beagle Brothers' Delights is named after Garmon's two rescued beagles, Chaucer and Coco.
According to Garmon, 'Chaucer and Coco play a key role in the business.
They are the inspiration and chief taste testers.
If they don't like it, it doesn't get sold."
