Books for Balzer
(This post will remain stickied for the rest of the week)
From Karen Koehler:
BOOKS FOR BALZER is being hosted by S.D. Hintz, co-publisher of Skullvines Press and K. H. Koehler, publisher of Black Death Books. This auction contains an amazing collection of books, all signed/limited and hard-to-find titles donated by the authors themselves.
S.D. and I put this auction together to help Jerrod Balzer and his wife Robin with the costs of their recent and unexpected medical needs and Jerrod’s stay at the hospital. He’s facing some staggering medical bills and we want to help him out.
(Michele’s Note: Jerrod is also the primary caretaker of his mentally disabled wife so these kinds of bills are almost impossible for them to pay for.)
Please note that 100% of the funds raised in this auction are going to Jarrod and Robin. Neither S.D. nor I are taking any payment. This is entirely volunteer work on our part. I’m hosting the auction on my Black Death Books Ebay account and S.D. is in possession of the books and will be shipping them from his location. So if you have questions about these books (which, have I mentioned, are simply amazing?) I will take the questions either at Ebay or you can contact me at blackdeathbooks(at)yahoo(dot)com and I will pass your question onto S.D. He will then send me the info you requested and I will pass that info onto you, or, alternately, he will contact you himself to address your question or concern.
(Details below the cut)
I want to take a moment to thank all the authors who rushed to get books to us over the past few weeks as we arranged this (and, also, for not telling Jerrod!):
Michele Lee, Brian Keene, Ray Garton, Bryan Smith, Mark McLaughlin, Carlton Mellick III, Michael McCarty, Peter Straub, David Dunwoody, Robert Dunbar, Louise Bohmer, Kim Paffenroth, Steve Vernon, Jake Burrows, and Tim Deal. Seriously, these guys busted serious ass to donate books to us. I think I speak for S.D. when I say I’m very grateful to you guys for doing this.
