For a limited time only, authors are auctioning off an opportunity to appear in an upcoming book<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As much as I enjoyed Neil Gaiman’s offer:<\/p>\n

\n“My next novel will be called THE GRAVEYARD BOOK. It’s a children’s novel, and will be published, er, when it’s published. Maybe in 2007 or failing that, 2008. It will have lots of gravestones in it. Your name, or the name of someone you love (who won’t mind) can be on a gravestone.”<\/p>\n

When you can bid:
\nSeptember 15-25 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I liked Stephen King’s the best:<\/p>\n

“One (and only one) character name in a novel called CELL, which is now in work and which will appear in either 2006 or 2007. Buyer should be aware that CELL is a violent piece of work, which comes complete with zombies set in motion by bad cell phone signals that destroy the human brain. Like cheap whiskey, it’s very nasty and extremely satisfying. Character can be male or female, but a buyer who wants to die must in this case be female. In any case, I’ll require physical description of auction winner, including any nickname (can be made up, I don’t give a rip).”<\/p>\n

When you can bid:
\nSeptember 8-18<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Go while you have the chance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
