Halfway into 2026, it was time to donate the money collected with my two campaigns for 2026:
The total amount added up to a solid €650 (six-hundred-and-fifty euro’s), which was transferred to the same organisation as my 2025 Ukraine book campaign: HELP99.co, read all about them in the link.
Here’s the transfer:
Where did the money come from? you may ask.
Good point! Here it is:
- Book sales: €150
- Mobile mechanic: €500
Q & A:
- Q: Are the campaigns done now?
A: Nope, we’re not done. There’s a good chunk of 2026 left, so we’ll just carry on, hoping to collect as much as above. And after 2026, I expect a new campaign in 2027. Make it possible!
Fair warning:
Courtecy to recent despicable comments made by Amazon boss and billionaire Bezos, I will not continue selling my books on Amazon, however convenient this would be for my readers. His comment was about prioritizing water for cooling of (his) AI data centers over water for human consumption, you probably read about it online. It was said during the Viva Tech 2026 conference in Paris:
As a result of this. all my books will be discontinued from Amazon, never to return there. Note that, due to stock, perhaps Amazon will continue offering some of the books for sale, I have no influence over that.
Most likely, I’ll still be able to order books and will be able to ship them to you. As a bonus, you can get them signed that way!
So, now I’m open to suggestions where to online offer my books in the future. Meanwhile, my expectations for book sales for the second half of 2026 are minimal.
