Authors for Ukraine
Have you heard about the Authors for Ukraine auction? It’s the brainchild of novelist Amy Patricia Meade and it features more than 250 authors and a host of terrific prizes. All proceeds benefit CARE’s Ukraine Crisis Fund (more about that below). It’s open for bidding right now! (Bidding will end on Tuesday, April 12th at 11pm EDT.) My prize pack features signed first editions of my standalone novels Her Last Breath (2021) and Blood Always Tells (2014). Please check it out — the auction is a chance to do something good in the world and get something good in return.
On a personal note, I’ve donated to Doctors Without Borders and International Rescue Committee in support of Ukraine. Until this auction came up, I wasn’t aware of the excellent work CARE is doing on the ground right now. Its Ukraine Crisis Fund strives to reach four million people with immediate aid and recovery, food, water, hygiene kits, psychosocial support, and cash assistance — prioritizing women and girls, families, and the elderly. Even if the auction doesn’t interest you, I hope you’ll check out the essential work CARE is doing.
