A battle lost -- but you can help.

Writer Vera Nazarian, who is also Norilana Books, has finally lost her battle with Bank of America, and is losing her home. She is traveling across country in her ancient jeep with her frail mother, four elderly animals, and what few precious things she can shove into a U-Haul.

Yes, we're all hurting, and many of us are broke. How can you help?

Well, the big thing is, pass on this link. Norilana Books has hundreds of books in print. People can find anything from classics through fantasy and teen fiction, high quality short story collections -- much good stuff. Right now, any money coming in is a good thing for Vera. So -- pass on the link. If you see something you think you might like? Now's the time to buy it.

I'm going to dive into Mansfield Park and Mummies, a gathering of great silliness. And there are many new books by Sherwood Smith out from Norilana Books, too.

So -- pass it on! And if you can, buy a book.
