There is more than one way to use a book to promote a book and Infinity Publishing author, [Debra Carttar](http://www.buybooksontheweb.com/resource.aspx?id=4596) is going all the way.  [Debra Carttar](http://www.buybooksontheweb.com/resource.aspx?id=4596) has recently completed a sequel to her novel “[Picturing Lucy](http://www.buybooksontheweb.com/product.aspx?ISBN=0-7414-6195-1)” and is donating proceeds to her local charity, [Molly’s House](http://www.mollyshouse.org/). The sequel “[The Art of Being Lucy](http://www.buybooksontheweb.com/product.aspx?ISBN=0-7414-6904-9)” was published in December 2011.

Through March, 2012, 100% of the royalties from both her novels will be donated to [Molly’s House](http://www.mollyshouse.org/) in Stuart, Florida, a hospital hospitality house that provides temporary lodging to patients and their families in a medical crisis. The novel  is dedicated to the volunteers at Molly’s House.

 “The volunteers at [Molly’s House](http://www.mollyshouse.org/) give so much of themselves to help others,”said Carttar. “They inspire me every day, so it seemed natural to dedicate my latest book to them and donate book proceeds to [Molly’s House](http://www.mollyshouse.org/).”

Besides writing novels, Carttar owns a business entitled *Off The Wall Ink* which provides owner’s  manuals to boat and home builders. She also is the co-writer for the website Simplychecklists.com and works part-time at Molly’s House as its volunteer coordinator.
