A note on the designated charity for this StoryBundle, the Neil Peart Brain Cancer Research Fund from Cedars Sinai. In 2020 we lost Neil Peart, legendary drummer and lyricist for the rock band Rush, to glioblastoma. He was my mentor, friend, and collaborator on numerous books, and his loss affected me deeply. Neil's friends and colleagues and fans worldwide have contributed to this glioblastoma research fund in Neil's name, and we are proud to add our efforts on this Writing Tools StoryBundle as well. – Kevin J. Anderson
