Fourteen of America's most prominent authors, including John Lescroart, Carl Hiaasen, Elinor Lipman, Francine Prose and Edward P. Jones, are participating in this year's character name charity auction to raise money for First Amendment Project (FAP) through eBay Giving Works, the dedicated program for charity listings, starting on September 7th and running through September 23rd, 2006.
The authors will auction off the chance to name a character in their upcoming books, and donate the proceeds to the FAP, a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to providing free and low cost legal services to protect freedom of information, expression, and petition. Some authors are also offering wining bidders the opportunity to speak on the telephone.
