Share The Dark Side of Hunger Mountain

Currently The Dark Side of Hunger Mountain has no paywalls on Substack but please support this work with a contribution through Substack and/or the methods detailed below.

While Substack and eBooks are wonderful, we love real books, holding them in our hands and reading while swinging in the hammock on a hot summer day or curled up in a big leather chair next to a winter fire.

For lovers of books, The Dark Side of Hunger Mountain is available in paperback, hardcover and eBook formats at Barnes & Noble Press and Amazon. Please leave a review, thanks!

I also offer a Full Moon Discount every month during the week around the full moon at Barnes & Noble Press and Amazon. See The Farmer’s Almanac for dates, but upcoming full moons in 2025 include June 11, July 10 and August 9.

My Full Moon Discount is generous—$15 off the hardcover (discounted to $24.75) and $10 off the paperback (discounted to $14.75).

The net to the author for hardcover and paperback sales is already meager so why am I taking it even lower, leaving me with virtually no profit on Full Moon Discount sales?

The answer is simple math combined with faith in my readers. I trust that many of you will transfer—the $15 hardcover and $10 paperback Full Moon Discounts or whatever you’d like to contribute—from the coffers of the Big Booksellers to me, the writer, via platforms with higher payouts as detailed in this chart.

Substack offers an 85% return to the author and Buy Me A Coffee delivers a 95% return. For a 100% return to the author, choose Venmo (thplatt) and PayPal (thplattbooks@gmail.com) to transfer your contribution, ensuring a greater percentage goes to benefit the author, not the Big Booksellers.

I hope, when you howl at the full moon each month, you’ll remember The Dark Side of Hunger Mountain, share the story with your family and friends and help support the person who wrote it.

Thank you!

T.H. PLATT
