In writing blog circles, we do a little thing called Teaser Tuesday, where we offer up short teasers from our work. I'm carrying that over to Pens for Paws by giving you a sneak peek on what kind of items are in the auction queue so far. The current inventory includes:
A Pet-Lover Pack from Stacy Mantle of PetsWeekly.com

And we've had offers of additional signed books and ARCs, so there may be more surprises in store for the auction days! Special note: The items will not necessarily be posted in this order, so the best way to keep an eye out for an item you want is to follow this blog, or @PensforPaws over on Twitter.
Of course, we still need more items, so keep them coming! The donation form now has a box for a photo link.

Bidding on items will close at 9PM EST (by Blogger's timestamp) two days later. Bid comments left after the close will not be counted.
You must include an email address and amount with EACH BID, like
example@fakeaddress.com
$65
so we can contact you to confirm you have the winning bid; if you do not claim your item within 24 hours, it will go to the next highest bidder.
It's okay to disguise your address from bots by using the format
example (at) fakeaddress (dot) com
You'll have one week to make your payment, but you must reply to our email or tweet to claim your item--PLEASE WAIT TO MAKE YOUR PAYMENT UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR EMAIL CONFIRMING YOU HAD THE WINNING BID. Payment is to be made through the PayPal button in our sidebar.
Now that the business stuff is out of the way, we look forward to some frantic bidding to support the kitties!
