You're Not The Only One: a charity blogging anthology for Warchild.
Congratulations to Sarah Peach and her team for publishing
You're Not The Only One: a compilation of 106 personal stories contributed by mostly UK-based bloggers, with all profits going to War Child: "
an international charity that works with children affected by war in Afghanistan, Iraq, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda."
The book has been compiled and published in a similar way to last year's
Shaggy Blog Stories, but (rather more sensibly!) over a period of a few months, rather than in one single week. It's great to see a whole new crop of bloggers represented within its pages, with only a dozen or so writers from last year popping up again this year.
Oh, and I'm in it. So, with that Killer Sales Hook fresh in your minds,
please proceed forthwith to the ordering page on lulu.com, where you can preview (for free)the front and back cover, the contents, the introduction and even the first story.
There's more information about the book, as well as a list of contributors,
over at Sarah Peach's blog.

Here at Troubled Diva, we only Do Adverts if they're a) for friends and b) for worthy causes. This is one such rare occasion.
My good friend
Sasha is embarking on a humanitarian aid mission to Moldova in May, and she needs to raise £5500 before she leaves.
With over £2500 already raised in donations, she has decided to generate additional funds by arranging a one-off Sunday lunchtime screening of Al Gore's Oscar-winning documentary
An Inconvenient Truth.
As the film isn't currently on general release, this might be an ideal time to catch it,
and to sprinkle a little bit of philanthropic love-dust along the way.
The screening takes place at the Tricycle Cinema in Kilburn, London, at 12:30pm on Sunday April 29th. Tickets cost £12.50 (including nibbles), and can be booked by calling 020 7328 1000.

I'm fully aware that, y'know,
linking to things is, like,
soooo 2002. (Weblogs that
link to things? Whoever heard of such an idea?) But nevertheless, it would be very cool (
retro-cool, even) if you could spread the word.
Here, have an image for your sidebar.
Here, have some HTML code to go with that.
<p><a href="http://sashinka.com/tricycle/"><img src="http://www.sashinka.com/tricycle/inctruth29thbox.jpg" width="250" border="0"></a>Image too big for your sidebar? If so, then take that
width="250" down a few sizes.
Thank you. We now return you to your regular scheduled programming.
