A Kansas City, Kan.-based author has pledged his support to the National Fibromyalgia Association, a nonprofit group that provides programs and support services for those who suffer from fibromyalgia and chronic pain.

Jody Summers, who released his first novel in March, will donate to the association a portion of the earnings from sales of “Dark Canvas,” according to a news release. Each sale will provide funding for fibromyalgia research and outreach.

The novel follows the life of an artist who mixes the cremated remains of the dead with paint to create tribute paintings. Summers has a friend who is stricken with fibromyalgia, and her artwork provided inspiration for “Dark Canvas.”

Summers, who is now writing two other books, including a sequel to “Dark Canvas,” said in the release that he plans to contribute to a particular cause with every book he writes. His Web site is www.jodysummersbooks.com.
