Australian Romance Readers Convention Seeks Donations

In the shadow of the tragic wildfires that had ravaged Australia in recent weeks, the Australian Romance Readers Convention is putting together a silent auction to benefit the Australian Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal. The convention and auction will take place this weekend, February 20-22, at the Jasper Hotel in Melbourne.

A slew of bitchin’ authors, publishers, and other businesses have already donated some way-cool stuff. Among the items so far: signed books, posters, t-shirts, interviews, even an autographed quilt, tickets to a Chris Isaak (yum) concert, and–my personal favorite–a character named after you in a romance novel. Oh, what I wouldn’t give….

So if you are a romance reader in southern Australia, be sure to hop on over to the Jasper Hotel in Melbourne this weekend for some top-notch romancing and place your bids for items in this ever-growing collection of goodies. And if you’re an author, publisher, or any other enterprise, think of donating a little somethin’-somethin’ to the ARRC’s auction.

Visit the ARRC website for more details.

    Could not have been written any better. Skimming through this brings to mind my old rm colleague! He continuously kept blabbing about this.

Comment away, my little snarkie-pies. But please play nicely. Poopy-pants comments (spam, hate speech) will be flushed down the shitter.







      WHAT IS A SNARK?




      The Snark is a creature created by Lewis Carroll in his poem "The Hunting of the Snark". To give a proper description of Snarks, one must look no further than Carroll himself, who summed them up in one word: Unimaginable.

      But this much we do know: some have feathers, some have whiskers. Snarks sleep a lot, yet they are an ambitious lot -- with very little sense of humor. They love bathing-machines and tend to bring them wherever they go; they are also handy for striking a light. Snarks live on a far-off island, a place filled with chasms and crags, and are constantly on the lookout for Snark-hunters. Their mortal enemies are hope, care, thimbles and forks.
