Hey, everyone! It’s me, Priscilla, your friendly, neighborhood site moderator.
Looking for an opportunity to help fight breast cancer and support your favourite writers at the same time? I’ve started a project called Books for Boobs, in which I’m auctioning off books signed by some of your favourite authors, with the proceeds going to the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Genres range from sci-fi and fantasy to romance to humor, so there’s a good chance you’ll see an author you like or discover someone new you’ll love!
Jim donated a signed copy of Changes and his wife Shannon generously contributed five of her novels. Together, Jim and I conspired to bring you a 13″x17″ poster of the map of Alera that appeared in First Lord’s Fury, signed by both of us! (I’m also the map’s illustrator, for those unaware.)
Browse the full list and bid here!
