News from St. Martin's Press--Barnes & Noble is having a big preorder sale! You can preorder my new book THE GREAT SHADOW (hardcover or ebook) at bn.com from 7/8 to 7/11 and get 25% off with code PREORDER25. Legal langauge: this discount is only available to B&N members but free memberships are available (they sent a helpful link, barnesandnoble.com/membership/).
And I assume that you could preorder any OTHER title that you've got your eye on as long, as you do it by Friday, and get the same discount.

Super good idea for a book!
I am heartbroken for the parents who lost their daughters in Kerr County. This is unimaginable.
Here's how we can help. Live links are in the linked article, also included in the text below in case you can't access it.

Where to donate
Here are some organizations that are looking for help:
The Center Point Volunteer Fire Department is accepting online donations through its Venmo account. The organization briefly took it down, saying scammers were impersonating it. When donating to the fire department, it said, people should look for the username CPVFDTX. (The department also accepts checks by mail.)

The long-established Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country launched The Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, which it said would support rescue and rebuilding efforts.

The Salvation Army’s Kerrville Kroc Center asked for non-perishables, hygiene items, bleach, diapers and other items. (Donations can be dropped off at 855 Hays Street in Kerrville, Tex.)

Texsar, a volunteer-based search and rescue organization, has deployed to the flood-hit area.

World Central Kitchen, an organization that provides food to disaster areas, deployed to the area to bring water and food to emergency responders, and was seeking donations.

Austin Pets Alive!, which has taken in more than 150 displaced pets from the floods, said it was most in need of monetary donations, after more than 2,000 people responded to its call for people to foster pets. It was also taking pet supplies.

Thank you for sharing these!
Thank you, Susan, as always.
There is an organization called Land of Lovies that will help replace lost special items. It formed during the LA fires and now they want to help Texas. www.landoflovies.org/
Place an Amazon order and have it shipped to Kerrville. My church told us yesterday to do this.
Thank you.
