Sales of both my books and calendar are really slow! And I would love to sell as many as I can, especially because portions of the purchase price go to benefit animals in need! I know that everybody is hitting up all of you with calendars, donations pledges and such this season, but I think that 1) my causes are really worthy, and 2) my books and calendar make totally pawsome gifts! Even if you already have one or both Dear Sparkle books, they make great stocking stuffers for other cats or cat lovers in your circle, and I still have a bunch of calendars here that I can personally pawtograph for you! So as the holiday shopping season starts to wind down, I just wanted to remind you about them.
One dollar from the sale of each copy of my award-winning book, Dear Sparkle: Cat-to-Cat Advice From the World’s Foremost Feline Columnist,
I also have a donation widget for PurrEver Ranch in my righthand sidebar, if you would like to donate to them directly. It is also looking a little lonely right now!
One dollar from each copy sold of my 2011 Wall Calendar still goes to Rikki’s Refuge! Rikki’s Refuge is an all-species, no-kill sanctuary that takes care of many special needs creatures. And as you may have read a couple of weeks ago, because of a slip-up of my human’s, we wound up with a bunch of copies of the calendar here and we are hoping to sell them before the end of the year. They are 17.99, plus $5.00 priority shipping and handling for U.S. delivery and $13.00 for international delivery. (California residents have to pay 9.25% sales tax.) If you are in the U.S. and order by Tuesday night or Wednesday before noon Pacific Time, my human can get your calendar out to you in time for Christmas — personally pawtographed by me! You can order the calendar below:

You are both beautiful and talented…and compassionate, too! We hope you have mucho success with both books and your calendar!
We hope you sell lots and lots of books and calendars Sparkle! Our mommy donates the proceeds of her jewelry sales to animal charities and she’d like to sell more too so maybe both you and she will have a very busy week with Christmas shoppers.
This is a lovely way to make money for a good cause!
We’ll have to get your calendar for our mom for Chrissymouse :). Purrs,
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, and Hollie
Mom works in a very nice shop and their sales are way down for this time of year so don’t take it personally. We will make a donation to your shelter.
Just goes to show what a celebrity you are, and a generous one at that.
I ordered your fabulous calendar! I already have that great book of yours!!!
Sparkle that calendar looks so nice. I’m making sure Tommy takes a look at. She needs help on what day it is–so your calendar may do the trick.

We’ll be doing our bit on Wednesday, Sparkle. Your book should be on EVERY servant’s bedside table, around the world!
I mentioned your book on my blog today Sparkle. I hope it helps you to sell some
We shall have to work on getting more people to buy those Sparkle! I shall announce this on my twitter. Now, if only the Woman would stop working so much for other people and work on the main website where I am, we are hoping to add in more of our friends stores so that it can be a one stop place for all the good stuff cat bloggers are working on.
Sweet Sparkle, we hope that sales will pick up for you….in fact, we are purraying that they will.
At this point in our lives, all we can do is purray, but mama says purrayer is the most important thing and can work total miracles………as evidenced by everyone’s help to get us out of a terrible situation.
Love and purrayers….Us boys and mama.
We sure hope sales pick up soon, Miss Sparkle.
Don’t despair Sparkle, there are lots of last-minute shoppers out there and I’m sure you will end up selling all your calendars and books!
Sparkle, we are sure sales will pick up. How could anyone say no to you?
Oh Sparkle, We LOVE your calendar and can recommend it highly to the calendarless! Hope things pick up for you as Christmas gets closer!
You are right that your books are wonderful. I have both of them… Great advice and beautiful books… Have a great day and many sales…. What a wonderful thing that you give part of the proceeds to help others. Yay!
pawhugs, Max
We hope you sell lots and lots, Sparkle!!
Sparkle, that’s such a great cause, I hope you sell out!
That is a good looking calendar. We might have to get one of those. Take care and have a great day.
