Maybe not, Shaun, but you could perhaps support her AND the Book Trade Charity by adding a little bit to her bid.
Go on. You know you want to.
Can’t bring myself to outbid Stephanie Butland.
Commercial? That’s me.
I’ve tossed the sofa cushions aside, tipped my purse upside down and raided number- one-son’s penny tin (at university, he’ll never find out). For the glittering opportunity of an Oliver Munson review of my thriller set in the future, I offer you…wait for it…£62.71.
Add a further £10 to Stephanie’s bid from me please. Want to see that book published!
I’ll add a further £10 to Stephanie Butlands bid along the same lines as Jane Smith…I’m not bidding for myself, and I’m not paying the original bid just an extra £10…I’ve got cats and kids to feed.
I’ll add another ten quid to Stephanie’s too – go girl!
(To clarify–I’m adding a further £25 to help Stephanie win this auction; I’m not bidding for myself, and I’m not paying the £100 she’s bid already because lovely though I am, I’m not that generous.)
I’m going to add £25 to Stephanie Butland’s bid to up the stakes to £125. Stephanie’s a wonderful woman, Oliver Munson is a terriffic agent, and the Book Trade Charity is well worth supporting.
I’m bidding £100 and keeping my fingers crossed.
The book is
‘Thinking, Laughing, Living, Dancing: how I said Bah! to cancer’ and it has real advice and thinking strategies to get people through a dance with cancer. Plus, it’s funny. Oh, and it has a foreword by Edward de Bono.
This auction is a great idea – I bid £80. My novel is called Normandy Wives Club and is about a group of expat English women trying to save a village by buying up the shop, B&B, hotel and garden centre and turning it into a thriving place to live again. But they come up against hostile locals, the ghost of a German soldier and their own internal demons. Loving writing this after 20 years as Fleet Street journalist now living in France.

Hi Oliver
I have met Graham Hurley for real ale and advice, so you get my bid of £60. My work is called Six Acts. It’s a historical thriller set in 1819.
Best of luck with the auction.

Hi Oliver,
I’d like to bid £50 in the feedback auction. Actually I’d like to bid more, but fifty is all I can afford at the moment.
Not sure if you need this information but the novel is called
All The Hard Ways
and it runs about 80,000 words.
Thanks
WW
