Where our money goes

My sister and I didn't get into writing to get wealthy.  We got into it to become fabulously wealthy, and allow you, our fans, to experience the glory of our riches by proxy.  ...Sadly, it hasn't turned out that way.  Not because you aren't buying our books, because you are, and we can't thank you enough for supporting our dreams of economic supremacy over our family and friends.  No, we are currently broke for another reason.  Meet Grady:

Grady is our 6 year old boxer, and is our baby.  Sadly, last year, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and they gave him 4 months to live.  Thanks to the money that our books bring in though, we've been able to pay for some very expensive chemo treatments for him (you don't want to know what they cost), and have managed to keep him around this long.  We don't know what the future holds for Grady, but we thought we'd thank our fans for giving us the money to keep our friend around a little while longer.
