It’s Auction time again! Brenda Novak’s Auction for Diabetes Research starts on May 1st!

Every year, author Brenda Novak holds an annual auction to benefit the fight against Diabetes. Her son has the disease and she’s done an amazing job of raising funds to battle it with this auction.

I’ve been participating in this auction for the past several years, both to donate and to buy things like crazy.

This year I’ve donated the following item:

A tote bag filled with the following autographed books:

I hope you’ll head over to the auction site and look around. If you’re like me, you can’t help but bid on one or two (or three or four) things. It’s for a great cause. 🙂

This, That and The Auction

Life in Motion, Brenda Novak Auction

Holy crap, people, the sun is out today! Now those of you who live in perpetually sunny climates (hating you) probably don’t understand my utter joy at this statement. It’s rained nearly every damn day in May. So the sun being out today makes me :glee: like you would not believe. I popped open the garage door and wandered outside like someone who’d been living in a cave for the past month. The sun felt so warm on my skin I just wanted to grab a book, plant my butt out there and soak it all in.

Sadly…deadlines. But the good news is, instead of our typical rainy weekend forecast, it’s actually supposed to be warm and sunny all weekend, which means we’ll be taking the Harley out for a spin. More :glee:

Just a reminder that there are ten days left in Brenda Novak’s Auction for Diabetes Research . Amazing items are up for bid, so please check them out. And don’t forget I have two items up for bid. A Bad Boy Biker basket filled with my Wild Riders books and biker goodies, as well as a critique of a super sexy romance proposal for any unpubbed writers looking for a critique of their work. Plus trips and books and art work and signed items and chances to meet with your favorite authors, so head on over and check it out!

Lastly, did anyone watch the Grey’s Anatomy finale last night? Spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched yet:

Holy crap I was drained after it was over. Despite my utter lack of being able to suspend disbelief at the ineptitude of the police and SWAT to take down one gunman (seriously..the whole police force waits outside while the gunman is inside–along with the entire hospital staff and all the patients that they didn’t bother to evacuate? I don’t think so. And you wound the gunman and then don’t rush in and take him down? Again, don’t think so.) But other than that, lots of victims, lots of melodrama, which Greys is famous for. I enjoyed that part. Shonda Rhimes loves to make us suffer, doesn’t she? Can’t wait for the Fall season!

Hope your weekend is warm, sunny and rain free. Unless you need the rain, then of course, please take some of what we’ve been having.
