We wanted to give you an update about donations.
We do have a "donate" button in the works for the foundation we're contributing to, but hold onto your cash for now.
Because we have had SO MANY items donated and we want to auction off everything we can, we're working on another option.
Items will be bundled into categories such as signed books, advance reader copies, critiques, etc., and we will sell "tickets." We haven't decided on ticket prices yet, but they will most likely range from $10 to $20.
This will take place after all the main auctions are closed.
At least that's what we think - much is still in the planning stage SO NOT ALL DETAILS ARE NAILED DOWN - but we are working on it so stay tuned!
And thank you, we continue to be overwhelmed by your generosity.

Where We Are
Yesterday we didn't have words.
Today, we've lost most gross motor functions and carry no hope of finding our cars in parking lots or remembering to put the cap back on the toothpaste. You say we owe you an email? We solemnly swear we're working on it.
We're plumb tuckered out, people. But that's okay.
Know why?
WE'RE ABOUT TO BREAK $9,000.
BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE AWESOME.
Carry on.
