People.
The response to my 10k Sales PARTY was … overwhelming? Awesome? Made me squee and tear up at several points along the way? I’m a writer. I should be able to describe this better. You moved my heart with your many congrats and well wishes and support. Thank you.
The winners have all been selected by Mr. Rafflecopter (see them here).
One of the (other) fantabulous things about the Blogosphere (besides awesome blog comments during Sales Parties), is the ability for many people to come together over the interwebs to support a great cause.
Justine Dell is doing just that in her Out of Darkness suicide prevention event. Justine is my publishing sister, and you may have noticed her recent debut was featured here on the blog a few weeks ago. Justine has amassed an EPIC AUCTION to support this cause. Because she’s just that awesome.
THREE WAYS YOU CAN HELP:
- TODAY: You can bypass the auction of said epicness and DONATE STRAIGHT TO THE CAUSE.
- TODAY: You can ENTER THE GIVEAWAY. It’s open until midnight Friday and includes EPIC amounts of books, swag, manuscript critiques, and even a $25 Amazon gift card! For every entry to the giveaway, Justine’s friend Sarah Fine will donate to the Out of Darkness walk.
- TOMORROW: You can stop back Saturday 10/4 and PARTICIPATE IN THE AUCTION OF EPICNESS:
Out of Darkness Auction: October 6th, 11 am EST

It looks like I missed the 10K party. Not sure how that happened. Congrats, Susan!!!!
I'm sorry I'm missing the auction tomorrow. It's Thanksgiving weekend in Canada and we're going to the mountains this afternoon for two nights. Sarah and Justine have done an amazing job with this!
Awesome! What a great cause. Your celebration was indeed incredible!
thanks for the charity update. Checking it out now.
I'm so glad things went well with your Party. And I can't help giggling. You've staked claim on items for the auction 🙂 Too funny.
Nice article, thanks for the information.
