To help pay for $30,000+ of Suddenly Very Necessary Repairs to our house and property, here’s an unpublished short story for you to read. There’s a tip jar below — anything you could throw in would be greatly appreciated!

I’m running an ongoing bakesale/booksale over on Livejournal, proceeds to help pay for $30,000+ worth of water damage repairs to our house and property (a few photos here). I also have a posted a new unpublished short story with a tip jar for those of you who’d like to help but aren’t interested in ordering cookies, caramels, or books. Thanks so much!

For the week of March 13 through March 21, I’ll be donating all my royalties from book sales to Doctors Without Borders in the wake of the crisis in Japan. (Sales tracked through Amazon’s Author Central and rounded up when in doubt.) So if you were thinking of checking out either Desideria or The Winter Triptych, please consider doing so this week. Help me lose as much royalty money as I possibly can!
