Hail Mighty Readers,

We here at the David Gemmell Legend Award like to help others out where we can, so we thought that it was only fair if we were to create a quick blog post to pass on the information for 'Genre for Japan'

[Here's their Homepage which explains the idea fully]

In 'Genre for Japan' a whole host of authors and publishers of the genre community have come together to help raise charitable funds by auctioning lots off. We've managed to obtain a full list here, as we know that you also like to read outside of Fantasy, but there are quite a few tasty titles and objects that may well interest you.  Details on how to bid are on site (just click on any lot that interests you!) and the list is correct as of the date of this post:
