Heavy rainfall has caused some serious flooding in the Austin, Texas area. Among those affected was writer, Steve Niles, best known as the creator of 30 Days of Night. Steve is an extremely kind and generous person. Besides sharing his love for the genre, he's bent over backwards to help his fellow creators and is behind numerous fundraising campaigns to aid creators overwhelmed by medical, legal, or other life changing expenses. Now it's time to come to his aid.
His house was flooded, causing severe damage, and he is without flood insurance. He'll need to replace furniture, rugs, work materials, food, and many other basic day to day necessities, as well as coping with cost of repairs to his home.

Thanks for spreading the word, John. I heard about this earlier today and immediately pitched in. Met Steve at a few conventions and he's such an awesome guy - shame something like this happened.
Done and Done.....
That's pretty crappy. Off to check and do my bit!
So sorry to hear about such setbacks happening to anyone,
Hope Steve and family bounce back quickly, sending some love and funds right now!
That is horrible. It's great that a man of his stature helps out the new talent. I want to do the same myself.
Which leads me to a quick plug, if you don't mind.Also, the 1st episode of my TV series "A Seat on a Train" released on Halloween and is playing from then on to honor this horribly awesome holiday.
Be the first to check it out at www.aseatonatrain.com
If you love "The Twilight Zone" then come take "A Seat on a Train." It's Free!
Most importantly, Have a Happy Halloween
