All for a good cause

Just a note that there's a signed copy of Historical Fiction II: A Guide to the Genre up for grabs at the Book Blogger Convention's charity auction, with proceeds to go to First Book. Bidding opened tonight at 10pm EST and will continue through 5pm EST on Friday, May 21st. They've started bids for my book at $20, quite a ways below list price, and I'll be curious how high it goes. It's already got one bid, half an hour in, which I find very exciting. It's all for a good cause, so if you'd like to get in on the action, visit the BBC auction page and leave a comment with your bid amount. My book's halfway down the page, and there are many other great items up for auction as well - other signed books, publisher prize packs, bookstore gift certificates, a literary lunch with some well-known authors ... so please stop by and check out what's available! (Per their rules, the auctions are limited to US only.)
