In response to the trump administration’s latest actions in support of russia’s genocidal war on Ukraine—namely, lifting sanctions on russia, cutting off Ukraine’s Starlink access, and delaying already-paid-for shipments of Patriot missiles—I'm auctioning off my personal author copy of the deluxe ARC box that Farrar, Straus and Giroux BYR produced in 2020 for my debut YA historical novel, Traitor, and donating the proceeds to Misha's Angels, a nonprofit that supports the Ukrainian army by fundraising for vital equipment—everything from anti-drone nets to sleeping bags.

This deluxe box includes a print Advanced Review Copy of Traitor, a Letter to the Reader that I wrote prior to the book's launch, and a publicity sheet.

Very few of these boxes were sent out, and they went mostly to booksellers, reviewers, and other industry professionals, so this is a fairly hard-to-get edition of the book. I don’t have any more of them, so once this one is gone, it’s gone.

The auction is live now and runs through 5 PM ET on next Monday, 10/19. Click here to go to the auction page.

I'm grateful to everyone who puts in a bid in support of Ukraine! You are also welcome to make a donation without bidding.

Until next time,

Amanda McCrina
