Report from Cyberspace:

To the surprise of no one inside the industry, Borders filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this week and will undergo significant restructuring. Two hundred stores will close, with "Going Out of Business" signs posting today across the country.

Though it's hopeful that the company is not go completely out of business, our thoughts are definitely with those amazing booksellers who will now find themselves jobless during this already tough economic time. Borders has created website to inform everyone about the filing and future plans - Borders Reorganization Website

So what does the Borders filing mean for authors? Well mid-listers, especially, have an uphill battle ahead fighting less exposure, smaller advances and just plan falling through the cracks - Pimp My Novel

The 411: Lisa "Garrie" McGarrity is young woman once mentored by a ghost who now leads a ghostbuster team--all of whom are recently entangled with Trevarr, a fiercely driven demon-hunter from a different dimension. After tumultuous adventures in San Jose, the team finds themselves much changed and struggling to adjust, while Trevarr returns to this world--and to Garrie--a battered exile.

But Garrie and her team don't head for home; Quinn Rossiter has a lady friend in Sedona who needs their help. There, in that area of power convergence, Garrie is astonished to find the ethereal breezes quiet, the earth's activity so diminished as to be nonexistent...if you don't count those oddball surges that don't taste like our world at all. Soon enough, Quinn's skeptical friend soon goes missing...soon enough, their efforts to contain the situation go amazingly awry. With Trevarr wary and alert, his opinionated not-cat bond partner dropping dire hints of trouble on their trail, Sedona ghosts rising to act out against Garrie wherever she goes, and one living Keharian ethereal breeze detector gone completely amuck and on the loose, she has only just so much time to figure out what's going on before the power plays are too much even for this one-of-a-kind reckoner and her otherworldly partner.
