I hope Ursula is still doing well! (she.is.so.cute.) Just wanted to stop by (if belatedly) to thank you for the sale and the opportunity to donate — and to thank Ellen Kushner for pointing me this way! Best of luck to you & yours.

Dear Gavin and Kelly, Ursula is such a beautiful child. I know from experience how hard it is to deal with a sick child – and I imagine it’s even harder when she is so young. I hope you can welcome her home very soon.

Happy Hanukkah to you both and Ursula! You’re all so inspiring… Hugh will be thrilled to have new issues of LCRW!

I’ve been enjoying the glimpses of Ursula on Flickr, and grateful to hear her story – so much cheek, she has to prop ‘em up for photos!

Kelly, I’ve thought of you, Gavin, and Ursula often and wondered how you all were. I’m so glad she’s doing well–she looks wonderful!You guys are champs–all three of you.

Ray, James: by next year we’ll have so many books no one will be able to keep up!

Ben, now way I’m going to let her get her gums on those surely-baby-safe, er, not, statues! Besides, isn’t criticizing other people’s parenting a major part of parenting? I’d never let Ursula go live in Switzerland, for instance. Well, unless she wanted to.

And thanks again to everyone who has bought books — especially those who went and paid full price to include a donation. Pretty much makes me weep!

If you don’t want books, but want to donate, here’s the direct link!

Listen, far be it from me to criticize your parenting, but I think Ursula needs some toys other than silver busts of H. P. Lovecraft. Those things are creepy.

I suppose they might be good for teething.

Glad things are going well. She is a beauty!

I’m outrageously glad to hear things are going well. If events proceed as you describe, you’ll be bringing Ursula home just before our second offspring makes his/her appearance. Fingers crossed for both of us.

Since I already own all of your damn books, I had to go the preorder route, and was happy to pay full price. Wish it could be more.
