Halfdan Hansen from jenshansen.com writes: We are annoyed to share that we were hit by burglar’s in the early hours of Saturday morning. Possibly they were on their own quest for the Ring but thankfully the forces of good prevailed. After much effort to remove a wire grill our cunning convicts struggled to break a hole through a laminated glass window and fled with a handful of silver jewellery. They left a few good fingerprints as a calling card and thankfully all the damage was repaired in a few hours.

Sean Astin, who is part of the story, has autographed 110 copies of WAF in advance for this event. These autographed books will be sold to the first 110 people who make an additional donation to charity on the spot.
WAF is a true-crime/comedy about a pair of con artists that swindled LOTR fans and celebrities worldwide in 2003, with their phony charity, “Bit of Earth.” BoE raised thousands of dollars in the name of the nonprofit organization, “Reading is Fundamental,” but never gave RIF the donations.
“No one even suspected that Bit of Earth wasn’t legitimate, because they used RIF’s name so blatantly,” said Renne. “Everyone knows you don’t raise funds like that without permission!”
An online donation setup will be available at the booksigning event. “I want everyone to feel 100% confident that this time, their money really is going to charity!” said Renne.
