The winner of this auction is Marcia Ridenour, whose Forever in Fiction package will play out in one of the future Bailey Flanigan Series books.
For those of you who are not familiar with Forever in Fiction, it is my way of involving you, the readers, in my stories, while raising money for charities. The winning bidder of a Forever in Fiction package has the right to have his or her name or the name of a friend or family member written into one of my novels. In this way this person (or the loved one he or she chooses) will be Forever in Fiction. To date, Forever in Fiction has raised more than $200,000 at charity auctions. Obviously, I am only able to donate a limited number of these each year. For that reason I have set a fairly high minimum bid on this package so the maximum funds are raised for charities. All money goes to the charity events.
