Bridget Zinn May 19, 2009

I first met Bridget last fall, and was instantly struck by her enthusiasm, sincerity and kindness. She is a vegetarian, non-smoking, sunscreen wearing individual, who was shockingly diagnosed with stage four colon cancer a few months ago.

Bridget is also a very talented YA writer, blogger and librarian. The kid's book community is really pulling together for Bridget, and I hope you can join in as well. You can, it's easy!

Please, please come to this event! Tell your friends! There is going to be a lot of cool stuff, and all of the money will go to help pay for Bridget's growing medical costs. I'm going to have some signed books and original artwork up for bidding!

If you aren't in the Portland area, there is still time to bid on some amazing things in the online auction that has been set up for Bridget.

Check out just a few of the cool things that you can bid on!

Original artwork by the amazing Carolyn Digby Conahan (what? Yes! Seriously!)

Get a character named after you in the new Babymouse book. (omg!)

A manuscript critique by Nancy Mercado (my editor from the new Clover Twig book! She's amazing!)

Go! Bid! Do eeet now!!
