An Opportunity to Give and Get

A very dear friend of mine named Louise recently got some bad news. Her father has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and unfortunately doesn't have health insurance. They badly need financial help to aid in covering the cost of his treatment. You can read more about him and the campaign to raise money here.

To that end, I'm holding a small charity auction to help spread the word and raise some funds. The Auction will go from now through MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4TH 11:59 PM EST.

I'll be offering two signed paperback copies of the U.S. version of LOSING IT to the two people who pledge the most money. The book releases one month from today, at which time I'll sign and send the winners a shiny copy anywhere in the world.

I'll also be offering up the chance to have a character in Kelsey's Companion novel named after you (or someone of your choosing), again to the highest pledge.

I don't know if this will be of any interest to you all, but at the very least, if you only bid what it would cost you to buy the book yourself, it will be greatly appreciated!

Every little bit helps, so whether you place the winning bid or not, I hope you'll consider donating to help this family out, even if it's just a few dollars. And if a few dollars isn't possible, your thoughts and prayers and spreading the word can be just as valuable.

Here are the posts where you can place your bids:

Signed LOSING IT #1
Signed LOSING IT #2
Your Name in a Book!

EDIT: The Auction is now CLOSED! Thank you all so much for the support. It was amazing! If you didn't win, don't worry! There will be another opportunity to win signed books (a free one) VERY soon!
