I am exceeding, exceedingly pleased to participate in this year in Brenda Novak‘s annual charity auction fundraiser for diabetes research. Last year she raised over a quarter of a million dollars, and is aiming for $300,000 this year.
I have two items in the auction: one is a Tuckerization–ie, your name in my book–in the fifth Walker Papers novel, DEMON HUNTS (yes, the one I’m working on right now), which is due out in June 2010. Bidding starts at $2. The auction runs until the end of May, and you can find the details here.
The second is an Irish gift basket which will include mass market paperbacks of the first three Walker Papers, and my recent night shot of Ha’penny Bridge in Dublin. Bidding starta at $2, and the auction runs until the end of May. You can find the details here.
My agent, Jennifer Jackson, has a proposal critique in the auction, and all the items up for auction from her client list here. Bid early, bid often! :)
I’ve been diabetic for over half my life. My grandfather was diabetic since before I was born. I’ve got several diabetic great uncles and great aunts.
I’ll have to see what I can do, bidding-wise, but however that works out, I just want to say…
Thank you.
It’s my pleasure. I was really, genuinely pleased to be asked to participate and I hope I’ll be able to in the future as well. I have a lot of diabetic friends and some family as well, so…yeah, it’s just a disease that affects a huge number of people. I think Brenda’s doing a wonderful thing here, and it’s cool to be able to help out in a small way.
i usually give fruit gift baskets whenever there are special ocassions.;:~
i like online auctions, they give that sort of adrenaline rush when buying:.:
