For a good cause...

If you didn't know, I enjoy collecting books almost as much as reading them. But for a good cause, I'm donating part of my signed book collection (some are also inscribed), along with two copies of my upcoming cozy mystery, Bloom and Doom to a charity auction. I also volunteered to ship the books to any high bidder. (In the US only. Sorry!)

The books are in two lots, described and pictured below, and are available as part of an auction to benefit the Janice Cline Fundraiser, to help defray the incredible expenses the Clines incurred in her fight against multiple myeloma. She's a sweet lady and a personal friend of mine.

To bid, just message the official Facebook page with the amount of your bid, the item number, and your contact info. These bids will close on the 14th of March and carry over into the live auction the evening of the event. If your bid remains the highest you will be contacted through a private message on Facebook with instructions on remitting payment. (Checks or money orders must be received before the books are shipped.)

If you're local to the Western New York area, the official page also has information on how to obtain tickets to the event, which features a meal, entertainment, local craft vendors, as well as the auction. Would love to see you there!
