Publishing News:
The Philip K Dick Trust joined a small coalition of copyright holders including John Steinbeck’s heirs in asking a federal court judge for an extension to the deadline for authors and their heirs to "opt-in" or "opt-out" of a proposed settlement agreement between Google and the Author's Guild. The request which was filed on Friday, April 24th seeks to give all book authors another four months to respond to the 334-page settlement proposed last October after the Author’s Guild sued Google for massive copyright violations in its Google Book Search product. The deadline is May 5th, 2009. Google’s Book Search lets people search and read portions of Philip K. Dick’s books, and millions of others, online.

Benefit Concert for Paul Williams in Portland, Oregon on May 9!
From the Press Release:
"Like nearly all freelance writers and full time musicians, Paul Williams was without the safety net of medical insurance when he was in a bicycle accident in 1995. His health has been in steady decline since to the point that his family and friends have asked for any financial assistance available.
In an effort to try to help Williams, Soft Tags lead singer Richard Shirk and Someday Lounge talent booker Josh Blanchard have organized a night of top-drawer Portland music on May 9. All proceeds will be donated to help his family cope with cost of his illness."

Paul Williams was a long-time friend of our father and author of the 1974
Rolling Stone interview that was a milestone in our father achieving the
mainstream recognition he so craved. After our father passed away in 1982,
Paul was instrumental in nurturing our father's legacy as literary executor.
For the first eleven years after our father's death, Paul spear-headed
publication of our father's never before published realist novels. During
this time he also created and edited the Philip K. Dick Society Newsletter.
Paul was severely injured in a bicycle accident a number of years ago. This
accident has caused him to suffer from early onset of dementia, and a steady
decline to the point where he now requires full-time care. The burden on
his immediate family has been immense.
We hope that you will take a minute to look at our good friend Paul
Williams' website at http://willamato.com/posting/paulwilliams.
Thank you from Laura, Isa and Christopher.
