Paying it Forward
Posted by Bob Greenberger on September 23, 2008
I believe in giving back or paying it forward, call it what you will.
So infrequently do I get a chance to do this in my field, I wanted to make everyone aware of something that just kicked off today.
As part of the fund raising for Jerry Siegel’s boyhood home, I have offered up a part in my forthcoming Iron Man novel. As I wrote here, the size of the part is entirely dependent on the amount raised.
Already it has 11 bids and is up to $81 as I write this. For that much, you’re a victim of a terrorist attack.
Anyway, I want everyone to know and have a chance for a little fame and fun.

16 bids and $95.
More bids; now at $127.50.
Some bidder must have really wanted it.
So, how much does it take for the winner to kill off Stark in chapter one and be the protagonist for the rest of the book? : -)
(Yeah, yeah, probably enough to completely renovate the house…)
