Jo Leigh Auction Back to Blog
The romance community is banding together to support one of our own–author Jo Leigh lost her husband to cancer earlier this year and is being swamped with medical bills (writers are generally self-employed and often do not have medical insurance). In an effort to help Jo Leigh pay off some of these bills, an online auction is being held. And this auction…well, it’s got some terrific gifts. Critiques from editors, authors, and agents. Books–lots of books.
So many gifts–especially if you’ve got writers on your Christmas list. (These gifts would be perfect for ’em!)
I’m donating autographed copies of HOTTER AFTER MIDNIGHT, MIDNIGHT SINS, WHEN HE WAS BAD, and EVERLASTING BAD BOYS to the auction. I’ve also offered a partial critique of a manuscript (the first 60 pages). Check out the auction–I think you’ll be surprised by the great assortment of items.
Update: If you want to place a bid on an item, follow this ebay link. Thanks! More items will be added on this ebay link very soon.

I think this is so wonderful how you have all come together to help out Jo Leigh. When I click on “online auction” it takes me to the website describing everything to be auctioned off but I can’ seem to go to the actual action to put a bid in. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?
Appreciate it 🙂
Hi Cynthia:
This is certainly a worthy cause and I would love to bid on the books you have donated to the auction. However, like Michele, I cannot seem to find them on the e-bay site?
Thank You 🙂
Hi, Michele and Lea! If you’re on the auction page and you scroll down, you’ll see this info:
“View the full list of auctions at this link. Items to be listed on 11/28, 11/29, 11/30, 12/2, & 12/4. (Individual item links coming soon)”
You can click on the word “link” on the auction page and will take you to ebay for bidding. I just updated my blog so that this link would be on the page, too. Sorry for any confusion! I believe the auction page will be updated with the individual links very soon. Thanks!!
I’m sorry to hear about her loss.
I’ll be sure to check out the auction site, thanks. And Lora is in my thoughts.
It is great how the romance community comes together to help each other. I’ll definitely go to the site. Thanks for letting us know.
There are some great items up for auction.
Jo Leigh is a wonderful author – earlier this year she asked her bloggers to nominate their pets for inclusion into one of her Blazes. My dog is in print! 😀
The auction is such a wonderful idea, to lose someone to cancer is horrendous, to be saddled with the bills is just obscene – shall be going over to have a look.
