Offer 1: I have just received, and hold in my hot little hands, my author copies of the fresh-off-the-presses first edition of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, first book of the Inheritance Trilogy, which is officially published on February 25th. Donate/buy it now and you can read it before it appears in (most) stores! You can read sample chapters here. One of these copies can be yours, signed and personalized if you like. The book retails for $13.99, so I'll start the bidding there.
Minimum Bid: $14 donation
Buy it now: $50 donation
Offer 2: I'm working on Book 3 of the Inheritance Trilogy, which at present is unnamed. The story involves gods and godlings (demigod children of the gods), and I am offering a Tuckerization of one of the minor godling-characters who will appear in this book. This god will receive your name, though possibly in some altered form since this is a secondary world and it would be a bit odd to have a god named "Bob"... though actually that might be fun, now that I think about it. Anyway, the name will be some recognizable derivation of your name, pseudonym, or nickname -- your choice.
Also, the higher you bid, the greater the chance that your name will be attached to the Goddess of Mirrors or something cool like that, and not the God of Cheapassedness, etc.
Minimum Bid: $25 donation
Buy it now: $100 donation
Delivery for Offer 1 will occur upon confirmation of your donation. Delivery for Offer 2 will occur, uh, when Book 3 is published. =)

Also, I enjoyed your first chapter and said so on Amazon a couple of weeks ago.
I'm not sure how to finish out this auction, so I'll go read up on the rules there and get back to you. In the meantime, please decide what name you want your god/goddess (and I have a few alternate-gendered gods, so that's a possibility too) to be. =)
Well, good for the VAP, anyway! Though my godhood may be snatched from me. Go ahead, someone -- take it. I DARE YOU.
$110 for deity-ship.
(If our host might be able to find a place for my name elsewhere for my second-place donation, that would be great; and if not, that's completely fine too!)
Now that I'm practically divine, I'm thinking I might want to go with my surname (Egan) unless that's gonna mess with the aesthetics of naming.
