If You Can Help...
If you've been reading this site since ye olden times, like when I was still publishing this through Blogger, you will remember reading a lot me working with Edge Editor Cheyenne Grewe as we did the (quite extensive) rewrites on ORBITAL BURN. In the course of all that work, Cheyenne and I became good friends, and we still talk, even though she's left Edge and moved on to running her own manuscript editing service.
I'm writing tonight because Cheyenne's got a serious problem, and is trying to raise some money. She's living in a house that needs extensive repairs to its roof (from the sound of it, and from the photos on her site, it looks actually like she needs a whole new roof), and she's trying to raise money to cover the costs. Already Cheyenne has eked and shivered her way through one Calgary winter (-40 degrees C, anyone?), and I hate the thought of her having to endure another one without a decent roof over her head.
She's asked if I can provide a link to her site, where she's selling off prints of her artwork. Cheyenne's a talented artist, and this is an excellent cause. She needs $3300 Canadian, and is most of the way there, and just needs a little help to get the rest of the way to a decent roof. You can buy fabulous prints from her online gallery of artwork for the low, low price of only $CA10 per print. Do yourselves a favour--and do Cheyenne a favour. She once, memorably, put in an unbelievable above-and-beyond-the-call effort to save ORBITAL BURN, and my career. I'd like sometime to return the favour. I hope it helps.

I can attest to the need, having seen some of the nastiness first hand ... and the repair job, which looks great.
I did my little bit to help Chey forget her troubles for a time, by escorting her to a certain EDGE book launch, where Publisher Brian pointed out her name on the credits page of J. Brian Clarke's new novel, Alphanauts.
The expression on Chey's face was priceless, and should heretofore be ensconsed in the dictionary next to the word "glee."

Aww...! *hughughug* Thanks for doing this! I really appreciate it. :D
Most of the people who visit my site are American, so the prints are actually $10US, but I'll take $10CAD from Canadians, or from anyone living where that exchange rate is better than the US one.
*hugsquishy* Thanks again. The contractor begins the repairs on Monday. I'm so excited! Six months of hell will be seeing their final days!
