I note with sadness that Meisha Merlin publishing is closing next month.
http://www.meishamerlin.com/meishamerlin.html for the announcement, but I spotted it first at Locus Online.

Eleven years seems a short lifespan for a publisher, but an incredibly long time for the individuals struggling to make a go of it in a constantly changing, never very profitable, field.

I wish them all the best in this difficult time.
