Thank you for a successful auction! @MarylandRomance

Well, the Maryland Romance Writers' fundraising auction ended last night, so this is the last post I'll be spamming you with (until next year, of course!).

All in all, it was a success! We had slightly fewer auction items than last year, but we did well.

My Full of Energy gift basket went for $30, so I'll be getting the information soon to send it to the lucky winner.

Thank you for your support!

The Maryland Romance Writer's Annual Auction is Coming Up! @MarylandRomance

Ladies and gents, it's that time of year again! The writer's group I belong to, Maryland Romance Writers (the Maryland chapter of Romance Writers of America) is setting up its annual fundraising auction.

The auction is our only fundraiser for the year, so it promises to be spectacular! Among the items will be signed books, gift baskets, and skills (web design, editing, career counseling, etc.) up for grabs. You may even get one of these for far below retail/real-world prices!

The auction runs from September 21st through October 26th, and I'll post the link when it goes live. Get your wallets ready!

xoxo Sarah
