Everything from Polar Bear first entry to arvee, packed and ready to go.
That stack of hardcover Talyn copies go all the way to the floor. STILL.
I find this view intimidating.
And this one, too. Lots of books still left.

Hi, Robin,
I’m sorry, but no. I ran out of books ages ago. Authors only get a few copies of each one. I only had so many because I’d written so many books.
It was fun to see the big piles of them. But even nicer to have the freed-up space once they were gone.
Hi Holly,
I feel kind of foolish asking this seeing that this post was in 2007. But then I convinced myself to take my chances on feeling stupid. Holding on to the truth of “You won’t know if you don’t ask”. So here it is. Does your free book offer still stand, if I pay postage? While standing in the truth of my, financial situation, I figure free is a gift from God. And I’m the bull dog to lock down on it with clinched teeth. That is if the offer still stands. and, to ask you another question, Looking at your work in print do you feel you’ve done yourself proud? I look, and all I can say is Wow!.
I would love to have some of these. Talyn sounds fantastic. I have heard good things about your books but have had the pleasure. If you have six different books that would be great.
Oh, I have Paypal and live in NY.
Hi Holly, if you still have any books left I would love to get them! (I’ve been on vacation, sorry I didn’t respond sooner.) I already have copies of the following:
1. Fire in the Mist
2. Minerva Wakes
3. Sympathy for the Devil
4. The Secret Texts trilogy
5. Midnight Rain
6. Night Echoes
I loaned out my hardcover of Talyn to a friend and never got it back, so that’s one book I’m hoping to get – but of course getting any of your books as a gift is brilliant.
Thanks.
Zink–thank you very much for the list. It will help a lot.
Everyone–thanks for the wrist-hand wishes. Lot of pain today, bearing with it. I have a whole lotta books–I think just about everyone will get a box.
Oops, sorry Holly! I didn’t get to read your explanation post before I wrote the previous request. wiseraven feels foolish! ;P
If I’m not too late, I’d also like to make a request. I have already bought all of your writing clinics and love them, they have helped me so much. Thank you!
I’ll take up to 3 boxes (if you still have anything left). 2 hardcover Talyn, + I prefer any/all of your World Gates, Matrin, and Arhel novels, (otherwise, anything left over is fine-I know I am late, I love your style of writing). Hardback & paper both fine. I have paypal and live in California.
Thank you for the generous offer you have given your fans!
Heh, by free time, it was actually “time I should have been writing.” (Although I did kinda think the underlining would show up. Oh well.)
Interestingly enough, my dad says there’s a feature of Microsoft Excel that would literally cross-reference and organize the orders to the point where all she would have to do was hit “print” and get all the orders, in label form.
Any Excel whizzes out there?
Eh – I’ll skip the teleport and just take some of Zinc’s free time – if it’s available! 😉
Dang, Zink! When you said “Free time,” I didn’t think you were as crazy as…as me!
BookLover, sign me up for the next teleport.
Wow, Zinc – that is very nice of you, to calculate and organize the requests! Now if I could just teleport to Holly’s and help her pack and address them all, and save her aching wrists!
Holly- me and my conspicious amounts of free time decided to go through the thread and make a checklist. If this doesn’t copy&paste right, I can email it to you. (Actually, what I really hope is that somebody didn’t already do this. Oh man, that would suck.)
This checklist is probably ridiculously complicated, and requires a key. Many apologizes.
The names are listed, then separated from the request by a dash. I used a semicolon; to separate each request as with some of them, it was difficult to tell where one started and the other began. (Numbers in italics and parenthesis are how many boxes they want. Not everyone gave a number.) ALL CAPS is a genre, just for clarity’s sake. Names in italics are from countries outside the US. Names listed by themselves made no request. Some requesters listed more than one name, so I tried to list both. There were some requests for “books before So and Soâ€, which I thought I’d leave to you, having written them. I’d be insulting your intelligence to explain what Duplicates Okay means. If I have already, I really didn’t mean to- I just want this to be as helpful to you as possible.

I know it doesn’t show on a checklist, but a vast majority of them thanked you for your tremendous generosity and wished you and your wrists a speedy recovery. A few select others have asked if it’s alright to link to a writing community, spread the word, and sell/give away duplicates
I have 52 requests listed here… assuming you don’t run out of hardbacks (unlikely) that’s 364+ books. Enjoy!
Holly,
Hope I’m not too late. I would like to ask if I can be added to the list. I have a paypal account already and would like to participate in the book giveaway. I would prefer no duplicates but I can find homes for the extras if I need to. Otherwise anything I great. I will read them all.
I already posted my request, Holly, just wanted to add that I have PayPal and that multiple copies of anything is fine – have bookworm relatives and friends! Any of the Baen are fine – I haven’t read your whole backlist (yet). Thanks.
Posting for Maripat. I’ll send her details in email. She can’t get the WordPress Login to work.
Me, I already have all the books I can think of :)…unless you wrote something I don’t know about.
Cheers,
Margaret
Good grief! You’ll need extra insulation this winter 😉

Where’s the part where your house goes?
