Authors for Japan raises nearly £11,000 to help those devastated by the tsunami

As you know, I've been tweeting  and writing a lot about Authors for Japan, Keris Stainton's imaginative project to raise money for those who have lost everything as a result of the natural disasters in Japan.

Bidding closed last night and in 5 days, the site raised £10,962.25. I managed to get signed copies of Shine and Glitter by Kate Maryon, and a character name in her fourth book, which I'm sure Anna will appreciate.

Keris has put a huge amount of work into this and can be very proud of how it's all turned out.

    Voting intention in the South West (with changes from the vote shares in 2010) currently stands at CON 39%(-4), LAB 29%(+14), LDEM 18%(-17), UKIP 6%(+1), GRN 6%(+5).

    The pattern is broadly the same as the country as a whole, with Liberal Democrat support collapsing towards Labour. With a drop of 17 points the Lib Dem drop is larger than in national polls

Thanks for your comment. As long as it doesn't libel anyone, and isn't abusive, I'll publish it. I try to respond to as many as I can, but please forgive me if I don't. Sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day. I read and appreciate every one, even those specifically aimed at winding me up.
