The brainchild of mystery author Amy Patricia Meade, Authors for Ukraine was born on February 24, 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine.

Tired of watching helplessly as a multitude of horrors were inflicted upon innocent people, Authors for Ukraine decided they needed to actively do something, however small it might be.

And so they banded together and utilized the best tools they had: their words. . . and their signatures.

Authors for Ukraine boasted 250+ authors from across the US, Canada, and the UK in genres such as mystery, horror, romance, fantasy, and children's fiction and feautres such prominent writers as Nigella Lawson, Hank Phillippi Ryan, Reed Farrell Coleman, and Terrie Farley Moran.

All proceeds from this auction benefited CARE's Ukraine Crisis Fund, which strives to reach 4 million with immediate aid and recovery, food, water, hygiene kits, psychosocial support, and cash assistance—prioritizing women and girls, families, and the elderly. https://www.care.org/
