And It's Done!!

The auction is ended and there are some pretty lucky (and I'm sure happy) winners out there!

So many amazing donations from so many amazing people! Everyone who participated, whether from bidding or donating, is awesome. Thank you soooo much!

For those items that did not receive bids (I'm afraid they might have gotten lost in the sheer volume of awesomeness!), I will either extend the auction to some time later this month or (after talking to the donors and Kendra) see about having them offered at a set price elsewhere.

Winners will be contacted later today!

this guy

My name is Kendra L. Saunders and I was born in the very hot landscape of east Texas to 
transplanted-Yankee parents. I spent years in the suburbs of Dallas/Fort Worth where it was too hot and 
too dangerous to play outside or explore. Instead, I learned the joy of reading books, making up stories to 
tell my parents and dreaming about exotic far off places like the rainforests of South America. By the age 
of seven I had already decided I wanted to be an author of novels. In second grade my school asked the 
students to dress up as what they wanted to be when they grew up, for Halloween. Amid ballerinas, 
astronauts, doctors and  marine biologists, I walked into school wearing my dressiest suit, carrying a 
briefcase in one hand and papers in the other. As if that wasn't weird enough, my first story assignment 
was about a woman sailing far from home. My teacher remarked I was the only student she'd seen that 
wrote about an adult.

I've stuck to that dream and that formula for all these years (though the briefcase has since disappeared).  
I carry ugly notebooks with me at all times (they should be ugly. Who wants to carry around a pretty 
notebook, when it will just be splashed upon, written in, abused, tossed around, torn and sat on?) and keep 
a running commentary on my life, times and strange mind.

Musicality and lyrics are some of my greatest creative inspirations.Professional credits:Kendra L. Saunders is the author of the magic realism novel Inanimate Objects and the dark comedy Death 
and Mr. Right. She has been published in Snakeskin Magazine, Premier Bride Magazine and has conducted 
interviews with goth rocker Aurelio Voltaire, NYT Bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout and fashion 
designers Dmitry Sholokhov and Fabio Costa, among others, for Steampunk Magazine, The New England 
Horror Writers and ipmnation.com. She reports regularly for Pure Textuality and writes helpful writing 
articles for NerdCaliber's Pages of Note.

Kendra has attended a number of sci-fi/anime/steampunk conventions, notably Arisia, Anime Boson,Watch 
City Festival, ConnectiCon and TeslaCon. She is the creator of the popular "Five Headed Muse" panel, as 
well as the "What We Can Learn from Fan Fiction" panel. Kendra was also featured as a guest on other 
panels throughout 2012 and has been noted for her energy and enthusiastic approach to writing education.

She also has a lifelong passion for black and white photography and shares photographs from her travels 
and adventures through her website, facebook, tumblr and twitter.

Kendra is host of the quirky literary podcast, 13 1/2 Minutes and has been a featured guest and co-host on 
various radio and podcast shows.

In her spare time Kendra likes to daydream about (foreign) boys with dark hair, drink too much tea, read 
fashion magazines, listen to records on vinyl, plan her dream trip to England and attempt to travel back in 
time to the Jazz Age. Find her online at www.kendralsaunders.com on twitter at @kendrybird or on tumblr
