All types of auction items are available to bid on, including books, critiques, lunches, artwork, jewelry, gift cards, and once-in-a-lifetime vacation getaways.The auction items are provided through donations made by authors, editors, agents and others.
The auction just began today and will run through the end of the month. The goal this year is to raise $300,000 for Diabetes research.

As you may know, my debut novel, “Fire at Midnight” was released in March. As a result, I’ve been given the opportunity to participate in the auction by donating an autographed copy of my book. I decided to make my donation more attractive by offering a prize package consisting of the following:
1) An autographed copy of “Fire at Midnight”
2) A tote featuring the storm-swept lighthouse design from the cover of the book, artwork by artist Adam Mock
3) A microwave and dishwasher safe mug with the artwork from the book cover
4) Hot Chocolate and Popcorn
My auction item can be found under the heading Gift Baskets and Collections. It is auction Item # 1379137 (you can use the advanced search feature to search by auction item number).
I hope everyone will consider looking at the online auction items to see if there’s something being offered that you find appealing and would like to bid on. It doesn’t matter to me whether you bid on my item or not, but I’d love to see as much money as possible raised to find a cure for this terrible disease.
