We all know someone who has lost their job recently. And you can just imagine how many of your fans and readers may now be out of work -- and out on the streets. Hey, if they can't buy food, how can they buy your books?

Gemma Halliday came face-to-face with two of hers: a teen and her mother. In fact, the teen, Katy, has been blogging about life on the streets. you can read how she and her mom ended up in this situation here: http://destinationanywherebuthere.blogspot.com/

To help them get on their feet, sweet big-hearted Gemma  is running an auction from January 19 - 26, 2009, on http://www.romanticinks.com.

Items include critiques from agents and editors, among other things, like website design services, jewelry, and books. 

 If you would like to donate something, you can email Gemma at:  ri.auction@gmail.com

We give to get,
