I don't have final numbers yet, but I think we're hovering around the $7000 mark for Night of the Giving Dead. Think of how many books that means for kids who really need them. HAPPYHAPPYHAPPYHAPPY.
There are still a few items left for today, including some great signed books and an ARC pack that I REALLY want. I also got some notes from people yesterday who REALLY wanted critiques but got outbid at the last minute. So as a thank you from me, I'm offering BONUS CRITIQUES. There are three of them closing throughout the day today, and since they're only open for one day, they should be affordable. I hope you'll bid on them.
And don't forget to fill out the grand prize form! I'll be drawing winners of the Kindle and mentorship tomorrow!
As a parting shot...this is what it's like to see me speak live. You can do that at the Kerrytown Bookfest here in Ann Arbor in September. More deets later!

Congrats! $7000 is huge!
(I'm also still laughing that you didn't even BUY the chewed book).
Congrats on raising that amount.
Carrie, your book is hilarious! I'm enjoying it!
I agree with Kelly - $7,000 is huge, congratulations! You must feel awesome. ;) And I love that photo...! xD
Wow, very cool! Congrats on such a successful fundraiser!
That's an amazing amount! Congrats!
Also, I loved your book. I read it yesterday. The whole thing. Kate is one of the strongest heroines I've ever read, and I love that!
I feel jealous that you didn't bite my copy of BTIB. I think you owe me a bite.
Kelly: It wasn't chewed! Just... slightly teethed.
LinWash: EEEEEEE! I'm so glad you're liking it!! *happy dance* Thanks for telling me too--I will NEVER get tired of hearing that. :)
Taylor: I'm so lucky to have readers that humor me. HAH!
Janet: Thank you so much! There's still time to enter the grand prize if you haven't already! What can I say...I like giving things away.
Julie: AAAAAAAAAA! I'm so happy that you loved Kate! I really wanted to see what SHE could do, brain versus zombie. Because that makes me snarf.
Ray: You could bite it, you know. No one would ever know the difference.
Awesome event for a truly great cause. I hope you do it again next year.
