Authors and Illustrators for the Philippines!

By now, we all know that Haiyan/Yolanda has devastated part of the Philippines.  (It went through the two biggest islands.)  There are many groups offering aid that you can donate to; I suggest that you do your research before giving your money.

Today, I'm highlighting two charity auctions relevant to this blog.  One, Authors for the Philippines, is auctioning off books, swag, critiques, and more.  The authors involved span all age groups, so there's something for everyone.  A few things I highly recommend:

• Signed copy of Adorkable by Sarra Manning (+ swag)
• Signed copy of The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell (1st ed.)
• Signed copy of FIREBRAND by Gillian Philip (+ BLOODSTONE cover)
• Signed copies of FLY BY NIGHT and A FACE LIKE GLASS by Frances Hardinge (1st ed.)

The other, art for Haiyan, is selling art - and not just illustrations.  I see at least one pair of awesome heels.

Warning: These auctions might be expensive.
