Huge Book Sale for a Good Cause



One of my favorite writers, Kelly Link, gave birth to a beautiful girl named Ursula on February 23, 2009. Ursula, who was due on June 16, weighed 1 lb. 9 oz. Ursula has been greatly helped by the staff at Boston's Franciscan Children's Hospital. (You can read about the ordeal that Ursula and her parents Kelly Link and Gavin Grant have been through here.)

There are a few things you should know about Kelly and Gavin:

1) They're great people. (Kelly was one of my instructors at Clarion 2004. Gavin was there, too.)

2) They run Small Beer Press, a press that has published some great books by authors such as Elizabeth Hand, Ellen Kushner, John Crowley, John Kessel, Geoff Ryman and many others, including, of course, Kelly Link.

3) They're having a huge sale over at Small Beer Press. Read about it here. Proceeds go to the Franciscan Children's Hospital. Please consider donating!
