5.1.13 Every May, Brenda Novak has a massive auction to benefit juvenile diabetes research. If you're a writer, a reader, or just someone who wants to contribute to a very worthy endeavor, please visit and bid; they have everything from books to iPads to vacation getaways. They also have two Advance Reader copies of my upcoming book, Love and Other Scandals. One will be featured in a one-day auction May 8, and one will be up for bid all month long. And I already have them, so these prizes will be shipped the day after I get the winner's address.

3.6.13 Just posted: the Prologue of Love and Other Scandals.
