Million for a Morgue: Vote Now

I've been Tweeting about this, but realized I didn't post it here on Mystery Fanfare. This is truly a unique way to raise money, and, of course, I love that it involves crime writers.

THE MILLION FOR A MORGUE CAMPAIGN IS SET UP BY THE UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE TO HELP RAISE FUNDS TO BUILD THE MORGUE WITHIN THE NEW THIEL CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE.

The idea to involve crime writers was born out of the friendship between Professor Sue Black, the Director of the CAHID at the University of Dundee, and crime fiction writer Val McDermid. Professor Black has often assisted Val with the forensic details required for her crime stories. Black & McDermid have appeared at book festival events together discussing the thought process behind crime fiction.

Everyone who donates to the Million For A Morgue campaign gets to vote for their favorite author to determine who will have their name on the Thiel Centre of Excellence at the University of Dundee.  

Vote by visiting the authors page and selecting your favorite author.
