Ebay Auction for a Good Cause March 27th - Joey is Involved

Fatin has been an integral part of the romance community for years – she owns and runs the RR@H Novel Thoughts and Book Talk blog, is an administrator of the WriteMinded loop, an author assistant and a tireless advocate for romance novels. She is also a friend to many in this community.

On Tuesday, March 8th, she lost her husband in a senseless act of violence, leaving her alone with four children. You can read more about the tragedy here: http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/9233067/

The romance community would like to rally around her. Therefore, a HUGE Ebay auction will begin on March 27th here: http://stores.ebay.com/OperationAuction2011

Wow Sandy, what a huge outpouring. What a horrible and senseless thing to have happened, but what wonderful and supportive friends to have in her corner. Thanks for the information and links!!

Jaime is the one who told me about this. I posted but Jaime is the one that made sure people knew.

She is a wonderful lady!! She is very close friends with Maya Banks, whose books are responsible for me getting erotica to begin with. From Maya, I went to LJ and then to Joey. Fatin was the one to mailed me out both of my Sweet series ARCs. So sorry and a senseless act of violence. I feel so sad for her and those girls!! SM
