Y'all have been very patient and the weather seems to be lifting a bit here - at least the Thunder Sleet has stopped! - and Ol' Boy's asleep in front of the fire, so I'm going to get these five auctions up before I join him.

Several weeks ago, one of our many resident authors offered me a copy of his novel to auction off for the benefit of our favorite water cooler: Absolute Write (as always!). I had a bunch of stuff in the works at the time, but got to thinkin' it might be fun to have a Celebrity block of auctions for just works produced by our brethren and sistren here on the forum... so here, for your reading pleasure, is the first of those five offerings:



by Raymond K. Wong (Maestrowork)

Along with this autographed copy of The Pacific Between, there's going to be a special surprise... trust me, the surprise is worth the bid, all by itself. I mean it: Trust me.

This auction starts NOW and will run until 8PM, CDT, Wednesday, January 17, 2007. The opening bid will be $5.00 for this offering. Please place your bids for this book in this thread. If you bid on one of the others, too, please place your bids in the corresponding thread – not here. Thanks! And, as usual, keep your bids in increments of $1, please.

Let’s rock!

I'll bid $6!

I'll give an extra $20 if Ray is going to personally deliver it to my house! ;)

He did mention something about a date with him as a special added free gift...

$7. :) I'll have to pass on the date, unless he doesn't mind Ol' Boy tagging along, but since I know what the real free gift is... it's gotta go higher to stop me. $7

$8!

(As long as the special gift doesn't include anything involving the HOL.)

If OFG is this excited, it must involve Ray giving her a massage while wearing a "banana hammock".

Was that '42' as in '$42'? :)
I thought about that after I posted it, but, no, that was NOT a bid.

Let's see how deep OFG's pockets are . . .

$13

(It was $12, Rane and I posted at the same time.)

Well, after I dug past the lint balls... I found $13!!

Now... how deep're y'all's pockets? :e2teeth:
Uh, I believe that $13 has already been posted.

Gonna have to do better than that.

/Author intrusion

It can be arranged, but for something more than $20. C'mon, it's all for a good cause.

The special "surprise" alone is, well, well worth it.

Carry on...

Some of us are a bit worried about the "special surprise" . . .
