technocracygirlSo, Cat Valente (catvalente) is in a bad place financially. She really needs some help to get over this boost; she's got a going-to-the-mass-market book due soon, and that will give a push to the family income, but at the moment, they're screwed.
She doesn't want to ask for help, so she's offering a trade. There's a book in Palimpsest called The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Boat of Her Own Making.
Catherynne is now writing Circumnavigated as a YA novel. Every Monday she's posting a chapter, absolutely free, on her website, for all and sundry. All she asks is, if you can, do put a little something in the pot.
This is a fabulous book. It's Alice, it's Stardust, it's Edward Eager and E. Nesbit, and it's none of the above. It's a book that's worthy of buying in hardcover, and it's worth supporting in e- form. It is, quite simply, a good book.
Go, read. And five, ten dollars, for more and better? Well worth the investment.
