Help a Writer, Get a BAF

CaitlĂ­n R. Kiernan is a freelance writer without health insurance, and she has suffered some severe health problems recently that have not only added expenses to her life, but kept her from writing as much as she could. Jeff VanderMeer has already given away copies of his novel Shriek to some folks who were willing to make donations to CaitlĂ­n's fund, and I'm going to copy him and do what I can: I have three spare copies of Best American Fantasy, and I will happily send those to the first three people who request them on this thread at CaitlĂ­n's LiveJournal and then contribute to her health fund. Once she has confirmed the contributions, I'll put the books in the mail.

There are other ways of helping CaitlĂ­n (you could buy her books!), including an eBay auction. Keep your eyes on her LJ for updates and more info.
