In a world where HostICan sends me a bill for $270.00…
It seems our little site here has hit the two year mark, which means I’ve had to drop some cash for the renewal of our domain names plus our host server. Money is tight for everyone right now, so instead of simply asking for donations I decided to hold an auction/sale. The auction begins NOW and will last through 8pm Staurday evening, at which point the highest bidders will be notified. Sale items are limited in number and, thus are first come first serve. Bids and sales will be coonducted via email (jpatricklemarr@gmail.com) only. DO NOT order or bid through Facebook.
Signed Original Poem – $15.00
Those who purchase an original poem will receive a signed and numbered (1/1) copy of the poem. This will be an original piece written specifically for this event. No two poems will be the same, so you are guaranteed a one-of-a-kind piece that has never seen and will never (without your permission, of course) see publication of any kind. If 20 people order, I’ll write 20 original pieces for the buyers. The poem will come suitable for framing (signature will be beneath the poem, numbering and initials on back.)
Signed One-Of-A-Kind Chapbook Mock-Up – Starting Bid $25.00
The buyer will receive my personal (and only) copy of a mock-up chapbook. This would eventually evolve into the Within A Stolen Moment chapbook. I will sign and number this mock-up. As only one of these mock-ups exists, the highest bidder takes the prize.
Limited Edition Within A Stolen Moment CD – $10.00
This CD will feature 6 of the poems found in the Special Edition chapbook Within A Stolen Moment as read by the author. Only 10 of these will be produced. The CDs will be printed in full color and come in a slim case with custom insert listing the track titles. The insert will be signed and numbered.
Within A Stolen Moment FULL CD – Starting Bid $20.00
This CD, while similar to the limited edition version, will contain all 11 poems from the Within A Stolen Moment chapbook as read by the author. Two will be made, only one is available for auction. The highest bidder will have one copy and I will have the other. I will sign and number the insert.
Personalized Original Poem – $20.00
Need a unique gift for a loved one? Or maybe you just want to be immortalized in a poem? Order the personalized poem and, after filling out a short questionnaire, I’ll craft an original poem personalized for the intended recipient. Due to the personalized nature of each poem, the recipient will own a one-of-a-kind piece, suitable for framing and signed by the author.
Become a Character in a Short Story to be included in I Am A Broken House – Starting Bid $50.00
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become a central character in a short story to be included in my upcoming book, I Am A Broken House. This is a rare opportunity to be immortalized in print. As the book will not be available until next year, the winning bid will receive a signed copy of the short story. Once the book is in print, you’ll receive a signed copy of the book.
Will accept PayPal or personal check for payment.
