Friends of Ed auction is a good cause with amazing items

As we know, writers often have trouble with medical bills later in life. There’s an auction to help Ed Bryant, Jr. that I want to draw your attention to. Many people have contributed to help him out. The auction includes things like lunch with Neil Gaiman; a pencil/graphite drawing of the chapter head and tail piece for BRIENNE Book Two of A Feast for Crows (George RR Martin), signed by the artist, Thomas Canty; Peter Straub’s fountain pens; a fiction critique by Harlan Ellison…

Some of these items only have two days left.

Here’s what the auction has to say.

Ed Bryant, Jr., a Colorado writer and all around great man, has found himself in a bit of a financial predicament brought about by, among other things, medical costs.  The “Friends of Ed” organization has decided to showcase a two-pronged auction event to help raise funds for Ed’s immediae needs.

A live auction will take place on October 23, 2011 at the Hyatt Regency in the Denver Tech Center during MileHiCon 43.  Additionally, an online auction through Ebay will take place in the week prior to MileHiCon 43, ending on both Saturday and Sunday, October 22 and 23, 2011. THIS ITEM IS ONLY AVAILABLE ON EBAY.  It will not be offered during the live auction at MileHiCon.

Interested bidders can either visit during the MileHiCon 43 convention to bid during a live auction or participate online through the Ebay auction here:
