I am very honored to be gifting Whale Song to 125 celebrities who will be enjoying a 'Diamond Dinner' at an event called Dallas Rocks 2008, which benefits Russell Simmons' Diamond Empowerment Fund.

In 2007, USA Today named Russell Simmons one of the “Top 25 Most Influential People of the Past 25 Years.”

The Diamond Empowerment Fund™ (D.E.F.) is a non-profit international organization that raises money to support education initiatives for disadvantaged people in African nations where diamonds are a natural resource.

Thank you to my publisher Kunati Books for helping to make Whale Song a small part of this wonderful and inspiring event. I truly appreciate it and I am positive that all who receive Whale Song will enjoy it.

A special thanks goes to Rhonda Bunton, President of Lush & Luxe PR, the company in charge of creating spectacular VIP gift bags for the celebrities attending this event and many others. I really appreciate your patience and all your hard work, Rhonda.

Dallas Rocks 2008 takes place on November 7th, 2008. More at a later date.
