Spend some time, spend some money. Go NOW. Because this is the very last day of the Authors for the Philippines on-line auction to raise funds for the Red Cross Typhoon Haiyan Appeal. You have until 8:00 pm GMT - and then it's all over.
Go here for the Home Page. Go here for the exceptionally useful Index (after all, there are several hundred delectable things on offer - easy to get lost!) But, please, just go.

Yes, please do go. I've been working with some of the people who have gone to help. The situation is appalling and will be for a long time. There are medical personnel and many others who have given up their annual leave and paid their own way to go and do specific jobs to help but they still need supplies and equipment and the local people need everything.
nice write :)

Go go go - am in awe of those who set this site up. There are goodies there - and what can be more important than helping people who have lost everything?
Well said, catdownunder!
Seriously unbelievably wonderful money can't buy stuff on offer - you'll kick yourselves if you leave it till tomorrow, when it will be TOO LATE! Go forth and bid, people, please!
There are some terrific offers - for example:
- a Susan Hill package including signed books, a DVD, and best seats at the Fortune Theatre production in London
- a signed original Jane Hissey picture (but don't you dare bid on that one if I'm in the lead!)
- a dedication in Steve Cole's first young Bond novel
- the chance to be or name a character in Malorie Blackman's next book
- your face in a Hannah Berry graphic novel
... oh, I could go on & on. There are loads. Almost 500. Author visits, character names, manuscript critiques, tea/cocktails/beer with authors, acknowledgements, dedications, writing courses & retreats, signed books...
...and best of all, the chance to have your name shouted by a badger! SHOUTED BY A BADGER!!! Who wouldn't want that??? And you get a signed book thrown in!
