We have about $3000 in bills due before the end of the month and the HatBox has only about $600 in it, including the $300 or so received so far this month. So anything that anyone can send will help us pay our bills on time.

Next month, Amazon changes the way things work with their Payments interface and we hope to have our new version of the Hatbox up and running well before that. We think you are going to like it and it should make helping us pay our bills more pleasant and maybe even more fun. :)

By the end of July, we will have money coming in from Doppler Press which will also help us stabilize our financing. Some of the Doppler Press money (after paying expenses, authors, artists and editors) will go into the Hatbox, reducing how much we need to depend on gifts from readers. We haven't decided what percentage yet because we need to plan on improving the resources Doppler Press has access to, also.

Two other projects we have going should be nearing roll-out by then, too. It's an exciting year for BigCloset. :)

Anything you can send us through the Hatbox links in the right column or through the mail (PM me for an address) is greatly appreciated and helps us keep making it possible for you to read the great offerings from our authors.

Hugs and Thanks again,
Erin, Piper, Cat, Katie, Sephrena, Frank and all the other volunteers
