Watch "Sins of the Mother" and help homeless women in Denver!

please note the new air date for the movie is February 21st


Want me to join you at your local watch party (bearing some choice goodies in hand)? Get your book club members and friends together and give donations to The Delores Project, which supports homeless women in Denver. I will attend the watch party of the group or book club that gives the most money!

I will join you at your watch party on Sunday, February 21st. I will come with a gift basket for the winning club's hostess (including a Jill Scott CD, autographed books-see national contest page for a list of participating authors giving signed books-and more!) and champagne for your guests!

But more important, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you helped the 400 homeless women who seek shelter at The Delores Project each year.

How to enter


1. Create a name for your book club or your group of friends.
2. Make a donation to The Delores Project, either online or with a check through the mail. (see deadlines)
3. Include the name of your book club or group in the comment section when you make your online gift or on the memo section of your check. This is VERY important! You want to make sure your group gets credit for every gift you make!
4. Start planning your party! Whether I'm there or not, don't you want to watch?

deadlines and rules


Contest begins Monday, January 4, 2010. Online gifts must be made to The Delores Project by 5 p.m. MDT Friday, February 5, 2010.

The winning book club will be announced Monday, February 15, 2010. The winning book club must be willing to host a watch party of the LMN movie "Sins of the Mother." That means the winning group must have access to premium cable television. This author is not responsible for providing the movie or access to the Lifetime Movie Network. The winning book club or group is responsible for the location and refreshments for the party. The winning club or group cannot charge any money for attendance at the watch party.

why i support the delores project


Because there but for the grace of God go I. I read an article about a college-educated, office-employed woman who ended up homeless, sleeping behind dumpsters, afraid for her life. That could be me. It could be any of my friends. It could be you.

For 10 years, The Delores Project has been helping women in Denver who find themselves, for a variety of reasons, dealing with homelessness. I hope you will consider supporting this very worthy organization.
