I’ve been inside of the burned out place I used to call home. It’s pretty bad, smell-wise, and everything is ruined. My books have been ruined. My Michelle Sagara, Patricia Briggs, Nalini Singh, Lilith Saintcrow, Christine Feehan, Ilona Andrews, Caitlyn Kittredge, Phaedra Weldon, Karen Chance, Debra Cooke, etc…all gone. Every book I’ve reviewed on this site, gone. It’s sickening. I want to cry. Very few books were saved.
My Sookie series was being borrowed so its fine. It’s going to be a while until I have a nice library and I miss it already.
Well, enough of my whining. I’ve moved into a new place with plans to stay for six months. Long enough to get my shit together and find a house for my girls and I. I’ve got to contact publishing houses about my change of address and hope they’ll understand why I need to change it twice in a year. (Once to where I am now, and again when I find a perm. home.)
Any suggestions? comments?
Scooper Speaks 
Hey Scooper,
So sorry to hear about the fire! Send me your addy and I’ll mail you copies of my books.
Best,
Karen
Oh no, Scooper 😦
I’ll be happy to send copies of mine (even if you don’t read them, you can sell them *g*) and I think I have some extra copies of Briggs and Singh here. I can get them together and send them out if you e-mail me your address. (Unless you’d prefer to wait until you’ve found a permanent place?)
I’m so sorry to hear about the fire. I hope you can find a place soon.
I’d be happy send you some books. Maybe I can coordinate with Meljean 🙂 Just email me your address when you’re ready.
Okay, they are only books. They WILL be replaced. Most of them.
Best of all, you’ve now got room for better friends. Books that are MORE special (and frankly, after seeing the offers above, those books would be more special. Just like that.)
Now that I’m done being pragmatic, Yowch. Let me know if I can help at all. I’ve got a TON of points at BookMooch I’d be glad to throw into the cause.
So, so so sorry.
Email me your address, and I’ll hook you up.
I have a bunch I have posted to paperbackswap.com – member name – lunapen… check them out and if you want any I will send them to you. A person shouldn’t be without books. I hope you and everyone else you love are okay.
If I had an email address, I would happily send you an Amazon gift card – so you could get books when convenient, whatever you want.
When you get a chance email me your address and I’ll send some things for you and your girls. Take care. (((hugs)))
Oh Scooper, I’m so terribly sorry. I haven’t been around much recently and didn’t even realize you’d gone through this. How horrible. 😦
My book collection is numbering somewhere around 6000 and I’d be more than happy to share them with you. Just send me an email with you address and I’ll be happy to send you whatever you want. You know, I have every book Feehan ever wrote.
((((((((HUGS))))))))))
Totally unfathomable…I’m so sorry. I have a slew of books, plus my own, and would be happy to pull a bunch together. Just email me your address and I’d be happy to send a box along.
Also, I don’t think the publishers will mind you changing your address twice in a year. I suggest explaining the circumstances when you email them initially and mentioning then that your address will probably change again. I’m sure they’ll be very understanding.
Scooper,
This is heart-breaking. I love my books and I know how I would feel if I were to lose them. Please e-mail me your address. I think I may have a few duplicate Feehan copies around, plus I’ll be happy to send you my debut novel, too.
Bless you.
Oh Scooper
*HUG*
I am really sorry to hear this- I would love to replace some books or get you an amazon giftcard as well.

Hi Scooper,
If you like Jacquelyn Frank’s Nightwalker series, just shoot me an email with your address and I’ll get those mailed out to you asap.
Take care,
Donna
Hi Scooper, I have a bunch listed at paperbackswap as well, my id Wilma(Wendy) is if you see one or two or more you’d like just send me an addy to send them to.Also if you could get me a list I can see what I can do to get you some books. I’m soo sorry for all you are going through.
Oh and please let me know what kinda books your girls like. I’d love to send each of them a book or two.
hugs,
WendyK

Thank you everybody for all the support, well wishes and offers to help me make a new book collection. I appreciate it more than I can say and have emailed everyone of you individually. If you didn’t get a reply email just let me know or email me directly at sdcooper54@yahoo.com.
Again…thanks.
I’m so sorry to hear about your fire! I’m so glad that you and the girls are fine!
OMG Scoop! ANYTHING I can do, just ask. I can’t replace your collection, but I’ll send you any that I have. I happen to have a few copies (now re-released) of my book laying around if you want one 😉 Do the girls need anything????
Tracy and Sue: Thanks for the good vibes. They are greatly appreciated. Things are much better than they were last week and I expect for them to get better next week.
Scooper, I’m so sorry to hear about your disaster. About 4 years ago, I survived a tornado. Any disaster is a life-changing event. The clean-up and other details are exhausting. Please, remember to take it easy and take care of you along with the girls. Ask for help. Everyone understands. And, when you are settled, send me an email with your address. I’ll be happy to send you my two novels.
Hugs from someone who’s been there,
Sara Saint John
Scoooooper!! This is horrible! Since you’re probably snowed under with books now, I’m going to think about something else…like a Target gift card. Who doesn’t love Target?
But I’m sure there are so many things your can’t replace. I am just really so sorry to hear about all this!!
I am so sorry to hear of the fire. I am so sorry for the loss of your home and the things you lost. I would like to send you something or books if you are still wanting some. Contact me at: patoct at optonline dot net.
