Signal boosts and sundries
Jun. 27th, 2014 07:12 amLesfic author (and fine human being) Baxter Clare Trautman and her wife lost their home and one of their dogs in a house fire last week and they could use some more help. Many thanks to everyone who's donated and boosted so far!
Book blogger/reviewer Rachel Smith of the paranormal site Bitten by Books and her hubby have to move across country this weekend. She's been ill, he's out of work and her mother and one of their dogs have all died this month. This is a woman (and her family) who really needs to catch a big break. Rachel helped me out with nice reviews of Night's Kiss and Haunted Hearths when they came out and I know she's helped a bunch of other authors with promotion so it would be nice to see her get more support. Please donate if you can and boost. Every little bit helps, in both cases.
Author Eugie Foster is back in cancer treatment, when her insurance company permits it. There isn't another fundraiser that I'm aware of, but I'm sure that she'd love to sell a few more books. Her latest.
And finally, the Twin Cities Antiquarian and Used Book Fair starts tonight at the Fairgrounds. It's somewhat less posh than it sounds - I've bought books in the under $10 range and seen first edition of Jane Austen on the other end of the scale. Plus, Ken Saunders, the book guy from Antiques Roadshow will be there and since Jana's fangirling, I gather he is indeed all that.
