Marianne Mancusi--terrible news

From the Literary Chicks blog: "Author Marianne Mancusi returned home from conference to find that lightning had struck her home while she was gone, and it burned to the ground. She lost everything." When you get a chance, head on over to the blog to see what you can do to help Marianne. They're organizing an auction for her. She's a former critique partner of mine and a truly nice person--she didn't have renter's insurance so she's basically starting over. Lis
