Every year, I donate some books to Michaels for their Michaels Cares charity drive, to be auctioned off in the store where my wife works. As part of the package deal, I agree to come in, sign them, and chat with the winner. Every year, they've gone for well above retail cost, which makes me feel good about doing it, because I know the money's going to people in need.
This year, the winner wanted the books to go to his daughter (shown in picture), and she was smart as a whip! For a young person, she asked very insightful questions about the writing process, publishing, etc. I must have talked to her for a good half an hour, and it was a genuine pleasure.
