I'm not sure if On My Way to Paradise has been republished by Dave digitally. Nightingale, In the Company of Angels, and several of his short stories are ones that he stands to make the most by way of royalties.
Myself and several of his past students are organizing a "Book Bomb" on April 10th to try and help Dave out as much as we can with social media and trying to generate sales. Hopefully we will have an affiliate site or something created to try and increase the money raised. Dave's son, Spencer, was able to create a donation website as well (which I did see linked up above through KKR, thank you pholy for getting that out to everyone.
From what I understand, his son was riding a "longboard" skateboard down a hill without a helmet, his friend realized that the hill would be too steep and turned around to warn Ben, but by then it was too late.
I want to thank everyone again for taking the time to read this or help out.
Here's the
newspaper article about the accident.
And a
follow up about the fundraising site.
