We got an advanced reader’s copy of the forthcoming Amanda Quick thriller, Quicksilver. Jayne Ann Krentz (aka Quick) stopped by to see Lisa Gardner on St. Patrick’s Day and we had her sign and date it. The hardcover will not be out until April 19th – so here’s your chance to get the only signed and dated copy available to the public:
For the next week, until noon PST on Friday, March 25, we’ll be taking bids on it. The winning bid’s money will be sent to the American Red Cross for Japanese relief.
Here are the rules:
- Bids may be submitted by e-mail or phone. Please call during business hours. (Messages left on our machine can be garbled and misunderstood or lost.)
- We can tell you what the current high bid is – not who. We will post the high bid at the end of each day on our blog and on Facebook.
- You can bid as often as you’d like.
- We will notify the winner and that person will send us a personal check already made out to the Red Cross. We will forward the check to the Red Cross. (The money will never enter our accounts. That’s why we won’t due this by credit card. We’ll just put it in a new envelope and put a new stamp on it.)
- Once we receive the check, we’ll send the book – not before.
We went over this proposal with Jayne and she’s agreed to be part of it. She’ll be announcing it through her own system as well. We all agreed on the Red Cross because we all know it and they don’t take an outlandish amount of the donation as overhead.
Get Going and Be Generous!
