This item is now closed! Thank you!
I joined the group blog Operation Awesome, home of the Mystery Agent Contest, in February and the experience has been fantastic! If I didn't already know how awesome they are, a bunch of the members have stepped up to offer critiques and books and proven their awesomeness!
A winning bid on this package gets you:
Critiques:
- Query and first 5 pages from Angelica R. Jackson (me!)
- First 5 pages from Becky Mahoney
- First 5 pages from Angela Townsend
- 10 pages from Kell Andrews
- 20 pages from Abby Annis
- 20 pages from Katrina Lantz

- Signed copy of The Lives of Tao by Wesley Chu (donated by the author; release date is April 30 so your book will be mailed in early May)
**A Bandit's Stolen Heart releases March 18, so we weren't able to link. But here's a blurb:
Under the persona of the bandit Blood Blade, Cilla Richardson
robs from the corrupt and gives to the poor. An accidental kidnapping
during a routine robbery leaves her with a handsome captive named Leo
Forrester. But Cilla and her sisters can use an ally in their fight against the town’s corrupt sheriff, and Leo is their best bet.
Leo reluctantly agrees to help by marrying Cilla’s older sister –just so they can keep their land. But the more time he spends with Cilla, the more determined Leo is to steal her stubborn bandit’s heart. However, Cilla is
just as determined to keep her heart to herself. Then innocent people
are murdered, and the sheriff blames Blood Blade. With their allies now
their enemies, Leo and Cilla must convince the town of her innocence before she ends up on the wrong end of a hangman’s noose.
Whew! What a fantastic cornucopia of critiques and books! You might even want to bid on this one with another writer friend, assuming you can divvy up the prizes without hard feelings.
This item will close on March 15, 2013, at 11:00 PM EST. Any
bids placed after that time stamp will not be honored. Once the
auction closes and payment from the highest bidder is confirmed,
the books will be mailed to the address you provide, plus instructions on getting your pages to us. This item
is open to U.S. addresses only (well, technically the crits and ebooks can be international, but anything physically mailed is U.S. only).
