Winners = Janice Schubert (auction)
Tom Lewis (raffle)
When they come in I feel a pang of guilt that these generous people have given up this money and may not even get anything for it.... then I remember how that money is spent and wonder how better could any money be spent - when we look after the most broken in society we are at our most whole. You can't spend money better than on these children from whom so much has been taken. Thank you.
It's been a while since I raised any money for the Children's Hospice Charity that gives respite to so many families, my own included.
My daughter Celyn giving over cheques from previous endeavours, including sales of her own book!
The prizes are
i) a rare signed, stamped Advance Review Copy of The Liar's Key
ii) a signed stamped first edition hardback of The Liar's Key and a Prince of Fools mug
To enter just donate $3 or £2 (or more) to the Hospice Charity and let me know you've done it. Then you're in the draw! You can forward the 'thanks for your donation' email to me at empire_of_thorns@yahoo.co.uk
The person who donates the largest amount wins the auction and gets to choose prize (i) or (ii). The person who wins the draw gets the other prize.
It's a great cause making a real difference to short and difficult lives. Jump in - you'll feel good about it.

" I feel a pang of guilt... "
ReplyDeleteDon't even think this! I'm sure I speak for all of those who didn't win that nobody resents for a second the money given. Because as you said, it's not 'for nothing' - it *is* important.
