Coming attractions… unique signed 12 Men goodies!

October 13, 2009

This morning I’ve taken a little time out from the wip, to start the ball rolling for a very special event at the end of next month.

I’m going to be running a charity auction to raise funds for the Langdale & Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team. They helped me with some of the research for DECENT EXPOSURE – and now I’d love to return the favour.

These guys are all volunteers and they’ve saved hundreds of lives, rescuing people from the mountains of the English Lake District. Their funding comes solely from public donation and yet they give up many hours of time, often in dangerous conditions, to help other people.

In 2007 I did a charity abseil for them and this November, I’m hosting an online auction, featuring some one-off signed souvenirs from 12 MEN OF CHRISTMAS. While I was in Canada, visiting the set, I told Kristin Chenoweth about their work. She was thrilled to help and she kindly signed an LAMRT T-shirt and a copy of Decent Exposure for the auction

I’m also hoping to have some goodies signed by the gorgeous Josh Hopkins, who is co-starring as Will, the hero of the novel. And yes, I don’t know how I’ll bear to part with those – but some will find their way to the auction!

For readers and writers, there will also be signed books and maybe even an author/agent critique or two up for grabs as prizes on this site.

So please visit the blog, add me on Facebook and keep a look out for more details over the coming weeks. If you can help me publicise the auction when it happens, I’d be delighted.

The LAMRT need your support!

Thanks

   Very worthy cause.
   Great prizes too and can’t wait to see it all unfold, Pip. I wonder if my family could hack letting me move to America in December just so I can catch it! Squeee! jx
