In August of 2011, the Navy SEAL community suffered its worst single day loss of life in its more than 50-year history when a team of SEALs aboard a special operations helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan . Like everyone with ties to Naval Special Warfare, writer Jeffrey Wilson was deeply affected by this event. Everyone in the community is connected in some way to the families devastated by this tragedy.

Together with JournalStone Publisher Christopher C. Payne, Jeffrey has set out to raise money for the Navy SEAL Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides direct support for wounded SEALs and others from the Special Warfare community, and provides support and comfort for the families left behind when SEALs are killed in the line of duty.

For the entire month of February, Jeffrey Wilson will donate 100% of his royalties from his novel THE TRAITEUR'S RING to the Navy SEAL foundation. In an incredible show of generosity and support, Chris Payne at JournalStone has agreed to not only match this donation, but in fact donate 100% of JournalStones' February profits from this book.

Let me know what you think of "The Writer", my contribution to the anthology.

The events of August 6th, with the loss of a special operations Helicopter to insurgent enemy fire and the loss of 30 Navy SEALs and support personnel was, and continues to be, a very difficult thing for folks with ties to the NSW community. As a result of a number of emails asking for ways to help, Jeffrey wrote an article that is coming out in a handful of newspapers around the country about how to give something back to the our nation's warriors and their families. We are posting the links to the article and the links to the organizations that he discussed. If you are looking for a way to help, any of these would be a great place to start. Needless to say, Jeffrey has a particular fondness for the Navy SEAL Foundation.

A man who has spent his life defending his country discovers that fate has presented him with an even higher calling. Ben Morvant is not what you would call ordinary and as a Navy SEAL, he never expected an ordinary life. But when a routine mission to protect a local village in a war-torn region of Africa goes terribly wrong, Ben is presented with truths beyond what his military training and experience have prepared him to accept. With his dying breath, a village elder passes to Ben a gift-a simple ring, unremarkable except for its ever changing color and the feeling of power emanating from within.

Soon after accepting the ring dark visions begin to haunt Ben's dreams. Images of pain and death, of evil and destruction. But some of the visions are hauntingly familiar. Soon Ben must return to his childhood home in Louisiana to face a dark secret from his past, one that may explain why he has the power to heal with a touch of the hand . . . or kill with a single thought. After discovering the truth about his family and himself, he comes to realize that he is a soldier in a greater battle than he could ever have imagined. And if he cannot find a way to wield the power concealed within him, the forces that prey on mankind’s anger and fear will destroy not only him, but everything he holds dear.

The Traiteur's Ring is now available at fine bookstores everywhere! Thanks to everyone for a great launch. Our early reviews have been fantastic and thanks to everyone who entered our contest and the giveaway at Goodreads.com.
