Operation Auction is an EBay auction of books (many signed by the author), ARCs, critiques (query, pitch, first three chapters, etc.), adspace, lunches, a $50 GF to Amazon, a Kindle 3 and many other interesting items donated by the romance community. All proceeds will benefit Fatin, a longtime romance community member who recently lost her husband and is now raising four children on her own. The following is cut and pasted from the Operation Auction blog:
Operation Auction will be going live on Sunday, March 27th at 12:01 am PDT. We will have all items in the Operation Auction ebay store.

None of the items will show up until the auction is live and not all items are going up at the same time. We have divided the items as equally as possible into three batches.
Batch One will be up March 27th at 12:01 am PDT, ending March 30th at 12:01am
Batch Two will be up March 28th at 12:01 am PDT, ending March 31st at 12:01am
Batch Three will be up March 29th at 12:01 am PDT, ending April 1st at 12:01am
All listings will run for three days. The only exception is the breakfast at RT with Angela James, Jane Litte, and Sarah Wendell. Because that event is approaching very soon, it will be in batch one and be a one-day auction only.
We are going to try our best to get lists up of what items are in which batch, but with new donations still coming in I’m not sure everything will be included. There will be categories in the store to help you find the items you want.
Shipping details will be in the description of each item. Please read those carefully before you bid to see if it is US only or international.
I have already made two bids:
- A digital ARC of Yours By Design, by Shannon Stacey
- 3 signed books by Erica Orloff. I have no idea who she is, but figured this is a good chance to give a new author a try.

You are so right. I won one of the above named auctions and lost the other, plus 4 others. But it’s all for a good cause.
