About AC:
AC Gaughen has been a lot of things in her life. Freelance writer, wrapper (WITH a “w”, sadly), hotel concierge, retail flunkie, telemarketer, non-profit board member and personal shopper are just the beginning of the list, but young adult novelist is without a doubt her favorite hat to wear.
I’ll start this at $10. I LOVED “Scarlet”. It was my favorite read this spring. Highly recommend the book. (I’m writing a medieval adventure/romance and can only HOPE it comes close to imitating your wonderful book!)
I’ll go with $20. I’m finishing SCARLET, love it, and would love feedback from a peer who also happens to be a young author.
$30.
Raising it to $40!
*raises paddle* $45!
This is the winning bid! I’ll be emailing you soon.
