IN MEMORY OF HOWARD HOPKINS-HELP AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE!

Update on Howard Hopkins. Due to an error with the insurance company his life insurance had expired and his wife is having trouble with burial costs. Friends in the pulp, writing, comics, and western community
are pitching in to help. Meteor House Press is offering a sale on their books with all of the proceeds going to help Dominique with these expenses. See details below.

Thanks for anything you can do.

This is a message from noted New Pulp Author and historian Win Eckert and is posted here at his request and in hopes that You will reach out to assist the family of Howard Hopkins in this time of need.


Please forward the following as you see fit; it is copied from a post on the Yahoo "Flearun" and "Golden Perils" groups:

"At the request of Howard's wife, Dominique, Chuck Juzek contacted me and asked me to pass the following info along to the pulp fan community. Due to a mistake by their insurance agent 6 months ago that Dominique only became aware of after Howard's death, Howard's life insurance had lapsed at the time of his death. As a result, in addition to everything else that his passing means to her, she's now scrambling in order to find the funds to pay for his funeral expenses. If you have the ability, she's accepting donations to help pay for those expenses; at her request, I'm giving her address for anyone that wishes to contribute.

Dominique Hopkins
2 McKee Drive
Old Orchard Beach, ME 04064"

Thanks,

Win

AN OFFER FROM METEOR HOUSE PRESS TO ASSIST IN FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR HOWARD HOPKINS


The tragic passing of pulp writer and editor Howard Hopkins at the age of 50: http://moonstonebooks.blogspot.com/2012/01/howard-hopkins-services-and.html, has been made even worse by the further misfortune of an insurance screw up.
So here’s the deal

Give to a good cause and get something for yourself. The first $100 worth of orders that come in between now and midnight January 20, 2012, you get the books, and Dominique Hopkins gets the money.

For those of you who have a copy of The Worlds of Philip José Farmer 1: Protean Dimensions, but have not yet ordered your matching numbered copy of The Worlds of Philip José Farmer 2: Of Dust and Soul, there’s no time like the present. And if you haven’t yet bought either book, make sure you take advantage of our Combo Deal that will save you at least $10 off your order.

Some of us at Meteor House have worked with Howard and learned a lot from him. He cared about the craft of writing and was generous with his time, he will be sorely missed. Therefore we’d like to do this little thing for Howard’s family. The rest is up to you. Of course you don’t have to buy our books, especially if you already have them. If you already have both, you can just drop a little check in the mail to the address above, or paypal a small amount to sales@meteorhousepress.com (by midnight January 20th) and we’ll add it to the total we’re sending.
