Cover Pose Calendar
The 2014 “Year of the Poser” cover pose calendar is now up for sale.
As with last year’s cover posing fundraiser, my goal this year was to raise additional funds for the Aicardi Syndrome Foundation. Aicardi Syndrome affects 1 in 105,000 girls born in the U.S. It causes brain malformation, visual problems, seizures, developmental delays, and other medical complications. Most research puts the life expectancy for people with Aicardi between 8 and 16 years.
As a special bonus, not only do you get a calendar full of ridiculous poses, but each calendar is autographed both by me and by bestselling author Patrick Rothfuss. (I hadn’t expected Pat to take the time to autograph several hundred calendars, but I’m thrilled that he did!)
My thanks to Pat Rothfuss, Nicole Everard, Kat Lemmer, and everyone at the Tinkers’ Pack, as well as my wife and photographer Amy Hines, my celebrity guest posers John Scalzi, Mary Robinette Kowal, Charlie Stross, and Pat Rothfuss, guest photographer Al Bogdan, and everyone who supported the fundraiser last year and helped us to make the calendar goal.
Supplies are limited, so order fast!
Please spread the word. And if for some reason you don’t feel the need to have a calendar with ME in various awkward and contorted poses but you still want to support the Aicardi Syndrome Foundation, you can do so on their website.

Neat! Fyi, either you or Tinker’s Pack has mispelled the name of the foundation. Aicardivs. Aiciardi on the other site .

Thanks, Mel. I’ve emailed Tinkers’ Pack to see if they can fix the spelling in that paragraph.

I must buy this! My husband always rolls his eyes at the Australian kelpie calendar I insist on hanging in the kitchen each year (he says we get to look at one ever day, since our dog is a kelpie). I look forward to seeing his expression on Jan first when this appears on the wall next to the coffee pot 😀

By December of next year, he’ll be begging you for a kelpie calendar! 🙂

I love you, Jim, and what your poses have done for the conversation about sexism, and that it’s for charity… but I’m giving directly to charity and my calendar choice will continue to be Cute Overload. I mean, it’s in the living room, which I share with my husband and all guests, neighbors, delivery guys, remodelers… I just can’t. *flails hands apologetically*
I’m sure they’ll be wildly successful anyway.
