STILL UNDER THE GUN TO NOT BE EVICTED …
My bookstore’s finances right now (summer was not such a good one for us—tourism is way down and now the Summer People went home) are such that I need at least another $500 in the YouCaring site to not be evicted at the end of the next week—I have to buy books for customers, which means what’s in my bank account ($300) is already used up, so to speak.
The YouCaring site has so far raised $220 of the $2250 I need to get the rent paid up fully. I know you guys can spread the word: Indie Bookstores are so, so, so important!
I DO have irons in the fire to get money myself from cashing out some of the accrued life insurance money in my account, but this is a one-trick pony. It’s the last “savings” I have. Everything, everything is in the store. I’m trying to be a responsible adult here and not just rely on the kindness of strangers.
Please think about donating, and please please please encourage reblogging. I don’t get many notes on this and I’m despairing. I know people followed me re the Neil Gaiman auction, so there must be some people reading me! I hope …

NEWS ON THE NEIL GAIMAN FRONT …
Neil will be getting 9 of the books from me in about a week or less, which hopefully be before Amanda gives birth. Otherwise, he will sign them as soon as possible (there are only 10, after all) and get them back to me. Then the online auction can begin.
There is 1 more ( The Sleeper and the Spindle) which he’ll get in another two weeks (see below about pub dates and release dates that we have to comply with).
NOTE: Because The Sleeper and the Spindle isn’t officially released until Sept 22, we can’t start the auction until after then, due to publication dates by the publisher and such. My distributor won’t send me the book, in fact, until after Sept 22—I have to rely on Baker & Taylor to send it to me fast, but sometimes I get the books a week or more after pub date.
PLEASE REBLOG THIS SO PEOPLE KNOW THE AUCTION WILL BE IN SEPTEMBER, IF THE CREEKS DON’T RISE.
