I understand yo...Just thought i'd chip in here. I understand your frustration at certain things but wherever you go theres going to be different rules for different things also these contests are open internationally. I won the Kelley Armstrong auction, for me it ended at 4.59am (i googled what est time was because i'm in the uk). I set my alarm for 4.55 just to make sure i would win. <br /><br />I'm 33, have 2 kids and a full time job but i love to read and Kelley is one of my fave authors, for me it was worth a bit of broken sleep not to mention the good that comes out of the donation. All good Karma!<br /><br />All it really boils down to is - how badly do you want it???Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12428217710663493390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-10273255135210294432010-10-26T13:22:00.199-04:002010-10-26T13:22:00.199-04:00Melissa - I adore you.

I'll email Donna the receipt.<br /><br />Also, universe, you rule.

Well, a...[x-posted to Sarah's blog & here]<br /><br />Well, actually, I do trust the universe, but sometimes you need to speak up to let the universe know what you need. Obviously, that doesn't always work, but it works better than not. Case in point: You spoke up. We have a good chance to turn something less pleasing into a good thing so how about this:<br /><br />If you send my assistant (donna@melissa-marr.com) a receipt showing that you made a donation to RAINN (http://www.rainn.org/) that matches or beats the winning bidder, I'll send you a set of signed copies of the series*. It's a win-win situation: you get the books you are disappointed in not getting, a charity I support gets a donation. You don't HAVE To do this, but if you want to, the door is open.<br /><br />Hope that gives you back a little more faith in the universe :) <br /><br />Melissa <br /><br />*I don't have my author copies of MERCY yet, so you'll need to remind me to send it later. I'd tell you that I'll remember, but I'm insane during release, so I know I won't remember.
