Help Moniquill Blackgoose recoup travel costs

I'm Moniquill Blackgoose, the author of To Shape a Dragon's Breath, which has been nominated for the Andre Norton Award. I'm going to be attending the conference in person in Pasadena CA, which means paying for a flight and a hotel. This is a serious financial hardship for me, and I'm hoping that people who've enjoyed the book will be willing to kick in a dollar or two to help me recoup costs.
