Setting quiet pages free...

Okay: here's the thing. SJ Tucker is a sweet, generous, talented woman who has freely given of herself and her music for as long as I've known her. Unfortunately, a recent illness (entirely unplanned, as illnesses so often are) has left her with a lot of medical bills hanging over her, and the life of a bard has never been a terribly lucrative one...not in money, anyway.

They're often surprisingly rich in friends.

Ravens in the Library is a limited edition anthology, collecting stories and art dedicated to the health of S.J. Tucker. It will become available on February 22nd, and will remain available only for as long as it takes for Sooj's medical bills to be covered. For once, I can say with the utmost seriousness that this product will not be sold in stories. It's a real book, it's going to be real and physical in your hands, but it's not going to be real and physical on the shelves of the store down the street. Which makes it sort of extra awesome, really. You can view the original press release in Phil Brucato's journal. Phil is our mastermind and ringleader, and much of what this particular gang of Lost Boys and Wicked Girls does can be blamed on him. Who's along for the ride? We-ell...

Behold. For now we wear the human pants. There's also art! Art is key. And we have art by...

This volume is being edited by Phil Brucato and Sandra Buskirk, and to say 'for a limited time only' is to understate things more than a bit. It's great stories and glorious art for a good cause. Ordering information is here, in the press release.

I am so happy to be a part of this.

Thanks for the tweak -- I've added a bold link to the ordering info at the bottom of the page, to make sure folks see it.

Yup, that stands out now. (For some reason links I haven't visited appear in the same font and colour as the rest of the text, making them hard to see. I don't know why, I'm sure that they used to be bright blue and turn red after I'd visted them, now they turn dark purple...)
