Picked this up on Book View Cafe:

Creatures 'n Crooks Bookshoppe,
the Richmond VA area's premiere store for mystery and science fiction
is in financial distress. An auction is being organized to help save
this landmark independent bookstore.

Event: Saturday, January 31st from 1-4, Creatures 'n Crooks
Bookshoppe 3156 W. Cary St., Cary Ct. Park & Shop, Richmond VA
23221. Phone: (804) 0277

Come for books, sugar-laden treats, and door prizes.

Who's Involved: In short, over one hundred authors from across the
country contributed to the dozen fabulous raffle prizes to be given
away on the 31st. This event will be the culmination of a month-long
contest in which customers will earn a raffle ticket for every $25
they spend during the month of January. (This includes phone
customers). Weekly prizes will also be given away. These prizes will
include signed books from authors in the field of mystery, fantasy,
horror, nonfiction, and children’s fiction.

The authors attending the January 31st event at the bookstore as of
this date are Katherine Neville, Donna Andrews, Ellen Crosby,
MariaLima, Ellen Byerrum, Andy Straka, Joseph Guion, John Gilstrap,
Austin S. Camacho, Maggie Stiefvater, and J.B Stanley. Prizes and
auction items will include: a vampire basket from Charlaine Harris, a
character donation from Margaret Maron, gold and sapphire earrings
from Denise Swanson, a Carolyn Hart prize, a culinary basket
including goodies from Joanne Fluke, a Tiffany necklace and much,
much more.

I've offered to donate an autographed complete set of 5 hc Merlin's Descendants books. These are now out of print in hc. This is my last complete set.
