My friend Seanan is helping out a friend by donating sales of her live album Pretty Little Dead Girl. Here’s the whole story directly from Seanan:
A fire sale is what you have when the house is on fire and you need to get things out of it, right? ‘Here, buy my stuff before it gets smoke-damaged’. Well, a very good friend of mine has a house that’s on fire right now, and that means I’m having a fire sale to try to help her put it out.
For the next week, all proceeds of sales from my first album, Pretty Little Dead Girl, will be going straight to her and her family, to help them get through a rather nasty financial crunch — basically, she starts her new job in two weeks, but until then, there’s no money to do fun things like ‘feed the resident small child’ and ‘keep the electricity running’. If we can manage to sell forty copies of the album, at $15 a pop, we’ll raise six hundred dollars, and get them through this stupid speed bump.
To order Pretty Little Dead Girl and donate the proceeds, go to:

der.php Put ‘fire sale’ in the comments field. We still have to charge postage (and the international order surcharge, for people outside the US), since I don’t have any money either, but all actual sale-of-CD proceeds will go straight to the donation pool. I’m probably going to do a few art sales or auctions to help this along, later in the week.
Please, feel free to repost this entry, modified as necessary, especially if you have a reading list that differs substantially from mine. The fire sale will run from Thursday, June 28, through Thursday, July 5.
Thank you.
Addendum: Because a few people have asked — if you want to contribute to the fire sale, but either don’t have $15, or don’t need another copy of Pretty Little Dead Girl, you can send non-CC PayPal directly to:

For those of you who don’t know her, Seanan rocks. She’s an awesome person, and a brilliant songwriter, and, well, even if it weren’t for a good cause, you’d want to own her music.
