Thoughtful Thursday: Authors Against Animal Abuse Auction


I love it when authors come together for a fabulous cause. In the past we've seen just what they can do when they auction off books for flood relief, for children's hospitals, for care packages going over seas, for children's charities and so forth. Today I'm thrilled to post about an auction author Christine Johnson has put together with friends like Cassandra Clare, Carrie Ryan, Julia Karr, Julie Kagawa, Jon Skovron, Beth Revis, Mike Mullin, Saundra Mitchell, Angie Frazier, Rhonda Stapleton, Crissy Calhoun, Michelle Hodkin, Lauren Oliver, Sonia Gensler, Diane Peterfreund, Deva Fagan, Jeri Smith-Ready, and Liv Spencer.

Authors Against Animal Abuse Auction was inspired because of a horrible situation Christine witnessed a few weeks ago. You can read about it here, but if you're an animal, be prepared to get a bit teary eyed over this story. RIGHT NOW you can bid on books from each of the authors listed above. Sounds like an awesome deal right!?! You have the chance to win some signed books and even some ARCs, and in the process you're helping save an animals life. 100% of the proceeds are going to the Humane Society. In addition, both Carrie Ryan & Diana Peterfreund will match the aggregate of the high bids with up to $1,000 EACH to be donated to their local animal shelters AND Christine Johnson will be donating her volunteer hours at her local Humane Society. For every $100 earned she'll donate 4 hours, up to $1,000.

Here's the links for each of the bids (which are on Ebay):

1) The Mortal Instruments series (City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass, City of Fallen Angels) by Cassandra Clare, in hardcover, each containing a signed bookplate. ALSO, Claire de Lune and Nocturne by Christine Johnson, Claire de Lune in paperback and Nocturne in hardcover, both signed.

** taken directly off of Christine's site** These links are property of Christine and the auction is run by Christine. All questions or concerns about the auction need to be directed to Christine herself. She's posted ways to contact her on her site: christine at christine johnson books dot com (no spaces) or on Twitter, @cjohnsonbooks.

If you're unable to put $ towards the auctions, your time is just as valuable. Animal shelters nation wide are in need of volunteers. Many are under funded and under staffed. By volunteering your time, you can help save the lives of many animals.
