The Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center fundraising event was a big success! Here are two pictures of Olivia, the winning bidder for the books by Wisconsin authors, including The Light of Our Yesterdays. When I asked Olivia how long it would take her to read all of these books, she said if she liked them about 2 days each! Great to see such a voracious reader win the bid.  

Lori Tomaselli, the author of “The Naked Block,” joined Olivia and me in one of the pictures.

The third pic is of the Green Bay Packer helmet (signed by RB Jamal Williams) that I took home after a tough bidding session. Hey, it was an event for Wisconsin authors, folks. You didn’t think there would be a Bears helmet for auction, did you?
