Hey, Romance readers!
The gigantic 2024 Romancing the Vote Auction is officially live, with hundreds of cool items up for auction, from signed books to annotated books, to zoom chats and manuscript critiques and more. (Much, much more! Crafts! Jewelry! Quilts! Books, books, and more books from your fav and your soon-to-be fav new authors!)
The auction runs now (July 1st) through Friday (July 5th), so act fast!
Here’s the link to the main auction page: http://auction.romancingthevote.com
All money raised supports Fair Fight and VoteRiders, two organizations that are working to protect our right to vote. (If you’re not on social media, you might not be aware at just how extremely anxious your favorite romance authors are about the prospect of losing our democracy in November. But we are Doing Something About It, hence Romancing the Vote!)
In addition to auction items, there’s a page on the auction site that lists some less-expensive “Buy it Now” items that can be grabbed immediately!
I’ve got 87 (73 now!) paperback copies of Everyday, Average Jones, the 4th stand-alone installment in my Tall, Dark & Dangerous series on the Buy it Now page at this very moment!
If you hit the “buy it now” button for EAJ over at the auction site, I’ll sign and ship that book to you, along with a (random! grab-bag style!) signed second paperback from my 60+ book backlist. (I figured that if you are willing to make a $30 donation to orgs that protect our right to vote, I’d slip a second book into the bubble-pack envelope as a special thanks! But since I don’t have 87 copies of any other single book, that second book’s gonna be a surprise!1)
Here’s a direct link to EVERYDAY, AVERAGE JONES at the Romancing the Vote Buy it Now page: https://www.32auctions.com/organizations/74830/auctions/164081/auction_items/5451631
You can also find me on the auction pages (just search for Suzanne Brockmann!), if you’re interested in bidding on a one-hour Zoom chat or a full manuscript/book/screenplay critique!
Or, here are the direct links to those:

Zoom Chat with Suz: https://www.32auctions.com/organizations/74830/auctions/164081/auction_items/5452765
But definitely go over to the auction site and surf around. There’re so many wonderful items being offered, and, again all of the money raised goes to Fair Fight and VoteRiders. (Romance writers have Stacey Abrams’s back!)
FYI: I’m gonna have one last “Buy it Now” item going up on the site later in the week. (The organizers hold some of the BiN items back to encourage people to return to the site regularly!) I’ll be offering a 5-ebook bundle for a cool $5. (Because face it, some of us can’t afford even a $30 donation, but can maybe swing $5. And every dollar that goes to Fair Fight and VoteRiders helps!)
My ebook collection includes an assortment of my backlist including
Ready to Roll (my Troubleshooters novella about Boat Squad John),
Infamous (my personal favorite of my stand-alone, non-series books!),
Kiss & Tell (a rom-com from early in my career),
Night Sky (another book I really loved writing that not many of you have read!),
and the annotated edition of Future Perfect, my very first published book.
This ebook bundle (I’ll send another newsletter with the link when it finally goes live!) is a great “Brockmann Starter Kit” for friends and family, and that $5 goes directly toward saving our democracy—so spread the word. (I’ll remind you when the ebook bundle goes live on the Romancing the Vote site!)
Okay, that’s it for now!
Go on over to the auction site and check it out!!!!!
Love and hugs—and remember that love always wins!
Don't stop fighting for our freedom, for our democracy, for equality, equity, peace, love, and hope,
Suz
