YA romance author Niki Burnham (who also also writes for adults as Nicole Burnham) announces that autographed copies of her (grown-up) San Rimi series, featuring the diTalora family, and her debut YA novel, Royally Jacked (Simon & Schuster, 2004), are available for bids at Brenda Novak’s site. Brenda is hosting an online auction, with 100% of proceeds going to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. See the “gift baskets” category by tomorrow, May 31.

note: Nic and I went to The University of Michigan Law School together where we were great pals, and we later stood up in each other’s weddings. I’m so thrilled about all of her success!
