Be a character in Shetterly's next novel 
Will Shetterly, the brilliant author of the incredible
novel Dogland (a magic-realist novel set in 1950s
Florida, told from the PoV of a boy who's father has
opened a dog theme-park -- a heartbreaking and magical
novel about race politics, theme parks, and the
Foundtain of Youth) is auctioning off the right to
appear as characters in his next novel. And in order
to make sure that those who can't afford the bidding
aren't shut out, he's also giving away the chance to
be a character in his next book as a piece of
postcardware:

I'm very grateful to the people who are bidding on
eBay for two chances to be a character in the book,
and three chances to be its patron. But I realize a
lot of people can't afford to bid. So I'm offering a
drawing: You or a character of your choice, a person
or a pet, now have the chance to appear for free in a
cameo in the novel.
