Hi everyone, Mod R here.
The lovely folks at Ashland Public Library, who are known to us because they arrange so many fun Q&As with authors, are holding a Romance Swag Bag auction to raise funds for the library and its events.
Over 50 Romance authors have generously donated items and experiences to be auctioned, House Andrews included. An out-of-print Signed Limited Edition Subterranean Press copy of Small Magics, with dust jacket and full-color interior plates by Luisa J. Preißler, will go to the lucky winner!
Other contributing authors include: Loretta Chase, Jennifer Estep, Darynda Jones, Jeaniene Frost, Kresley Cole – you know what, I’ll just let you see for yourselves on the auction home page. Click on the picture of each author to go to the details of the goodies you can nab.
The auction will begin a week from now, on Wednesday October 11th at 8:00pm Eastern Time and end on Wednesday October 18th at 8:00pm Eastern. It will be held online, on Ebay, on the Friends of Ashland Library account. International shipping is possible for most of the items and will be calculated by Ebay.
You can read more on their FAQ page and the Romance Swag Bag Auction 2023 home page. The contact for any questions or issues is ashlandprograms@minlib.net.
Happy bidding!
This is so cool! Thanks for the heads up!
You’re the best!
Good luck to all participating in the auction.
Thanks Mod R for letting us know. Ashland Library brace yourself for the Horde! 😁📖📚
We’re braced!!
thanks for all the Zoom meets you set up!
All of the thanks goes to Mod R, the Andrews, and the other amazing authors who sign on – Jeaniene, Nalini, who will we come up with next? :). They are super fun for me, too!
Ohhh. Swag. And multiple author swag, too. Pretty.
Three cheers to you, Mod R! If not for you, I would have missed out on this.
Thanks!
Faith
We need to sneak a Book Devouring Horde tote bag into the mix.
what state is this Ashland Public Library in?
The address available on their website is 66 Front Street | Ashland, MA 01721.
Love your Halloween 🎃 pic 🥰
Wow! That’s a lot of stuff!
I first thought that it would be just 1 bundle of all the things for auction, but they’re separate. That might make it easier to win a bid.
Good luck to all who bid! 😊
this is awesome! What a great way to raise money for the library 🙂
Many thanks!
I appreciate the intro to a bunch of new (to me) authors. Need to put a reminder on my calendar.
Wow, that is an impressive line up of authors! I see it says global shipping so I will certainly take a look at a few of these auctions and see what happens (I’m not holding my breath though, not with the people they’ve managed to get).
wow, a lot of authors, they aren’t kidding about there being something for everyone to bid on! whew!!
I just browsed the site and I’m not sure the powers that be really were braced for the BDH. Of all the posted items, Ilona and Gordon’s “Small Magics” was the leading in terms of dollars pledged by $100+ any other item offered. We do vote with our pocketbooks!
Success – Thank you for this recommendation! I got some new books from new authors – it is exciting. I would not have ever know about this except for your Blog. Thank you!
