Another one bites the dust

Meisha Merlin has announced that it will close its doors this month, reducing by one the number of small presses that publish high-quality fantasy and science fiction, including John Morressy's tales of Kedrigern and P.C. Hodgell's stories of the Kencyrath (God Stalk, Dark of the Moon, Seeker's Mask, To Ride a Rathorn, et al).

Currently, Hodgell's books are available as an e'book from Baen's Webscription service under the omnibus title "The Godstalk Chronicles". This, I suppose, is better than disappearing completely from the world of readily-available books, but I hope that another paper-and-ink publisher will take her up on her fifth and subsequent books. Jamethiel and the world she inhabits are well worth exploring.
