Buy a vase; support an author!

Lauren Mechling, the fantastic author of Dream Girl and co-author of the Rise and Fall of a 10th Grade Social Climber series, recently contributed a short story to the project Significant Objects.

(Premise: Thrift store finds inspire writers to create works of short fiction. The objects are then sold on eBay, accompanied by the short stories. So if you place a bid and win, you get both the vase Lauren wrote about and a copy of her story.) One hundred authors contributed to this project, including Lauren and Meg Cabot.

PS. Lauren and Meg are the only YA writers whose names jumped off the page at me, so if I’ve missed someone, please feel free to post a link in the comments.

    Hey–thanks for this! Update: the vase was purchased by an anonymous donor for a handsome sum. But the story is free for the world to enjoy.

    Thanks, Lauren. You all can still read the stories on the Significant Objects site. Happy Thanksgiving!
