MESA, AZ, September 24, 2010 (Press-News.org) John Noel Hampton, author of the newly released fiction book, The Wrong Bus, An Urban Christmas Story, announced he will donate $2 from each book purchased now through Nov. 30, 2010 to the Wounded Warrior Project.
The WWP, a grassroots nonprofit organization, provides tangible support for military personnel who suffered physical and mental injuries while serving in the Armed Forces. More information is available at http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org.
The Wrong Bus, An Urban Christmas Tale retails for $9.99 and is available through Amazon or the authorâEUR s website, http://www.JohnNoelHampton.com.
The fictional tale set in Los Angeles, centers around Ida, a wealthy, older optimist who sets out to complete her Christmas shopping. However, little does she know the dramatic turn her life will take when she decides to go by bus to save a few dollars and becomes the victim of a brutal assault. Her luck takes a three-sixty turn when Junior, a young African-American student from the wrong side of town with troubles of his own, comes to her rescue-or does it? Christmas in Los Angeles can bring out the worst in some, but it can also spin misery into miracles and just maybe restore faith.
âEURœAs a Vietnam Veteran, I admire the WWP for their mission and their dedication,âEUR said Hampton. âEURœAlso, I touch on the subject of a MMI soldier in the book and wanted to offer concrete assistance to ensure that the wounded men and women who serve our country get the benefits and assistance they deserve.âEUR
Hampton is the author of two novels, five screenplays, as well as several short stories. The screenplay version of the book, previously optioned, is available with an Academy Award winning actress attached to play the lead. The author lives in Palm Springs, CA with his two rescue dogs, Albert and Arthur.
