We all joke about Nora  - okay, I do - and her ownership of the bestseller lists and romance awards and….everything.  This is pretty cool.  If you’re too lazy to follow the link or keep reading, she is donating $500,000 to a Katrina fundraiser.  She says:

Bear with me now. It’s generally my policy, when I donate funds to keep the matter private. In this case, since I’ll be making that donation as a member of ADWOFF and as part of this fundraiser, I feel we’re all a part of the final tally. As Wym and Sue and others have said again and again, every single dollar counts. We’ve proven it does. It counts a lot.

So as a member of ADWOFF, I’ll be sending in a check for $500,000.

We’re not just building one house, helping to give a family the foundation to make one home. We’re building more than ten.

That’s what we’ve done as a community. And that’s a powerful act.

I’ve been known to say I’m not big on inspiration. But I’ve been inspired countless times these past two weeks.

Nicely done and eloquent at the same time.
