I've been busting to tell you guys about this, and now I can...

As part of the Charity Auction to be held at Supanova this weekend (and again in Brisbane the following weekend) we are auctioning off a character in my next series.

The proceeds will be going to Bushfire Relief from the Melbourne Auction and Flood Relief for the Brisbane Auction.

The details of the prize are as follows:

• Two characters are available (can be male or female) for auction (one in Melbourne and one in Brisbane.) 
• Winner will get their name in the book as a character (they will not, however, get to dictate anything else – physical appearance, characteristics and eventual fate are all my prerogative). In other words I can kill off your namesake off if I feel like itJ
• The series is the Rift Runners series. Book 1 – The Undivided is tentatively scheduled for release in 2010.

Now... given that the book is set partly in Ireland (with Dutch overtones... have fun figuring that one out...hehehe), if your name is Ignatious Yanopoporopolous, you probably won't get to be the hero's favourite younger brother...

You get to chose the name. I get to decide everything else.

So... if you're not in Melbourne or Brisbane, how do you bid?

 I'm glad you asked... if you want to bid, email me here

We haven't set a minimum bid, but I will keep you posted as to the progress of the auction (probably on Twitter because it's faster). Bids for Melbourne will close on Thursday at midnight (ACDST). Any bids for Melbourne than miss the deadline will be offered the option to transfer to the Brisbane Auction.

Happy bidding!
