For those outside the US (like myself) interested in how to donate to the memorial fund set up by Jamie & Ann Eyberg's family for their children, Aaron Polson (editor of Strange Publications) has offered to forward the money for you. Check out his blog, the link is below.
Aaron Polson: Casting a Wide Memorial Net
Many thanks to Aaron for doing this as I (and I'm sure many others outside the US) felt at a loss as to how we could contribute.
It always seems kind of flippant when I say I love my online friends and I'm sure my family have thought it a slightly ridiculous concept until this week. I can't deny, Jamie's death left me heartbroken and I know it left many of you the same. Almost-normal service should be restored on my blog next week (the usual trivial news, writing updates etc) and I'm sure I'll be back twittering soon, but at the moment, I haven't the heart to be sparkly and ridiculous or whatever my tweets usually are. In the meantime, I hope you're all staying well and enjoying your families.

*hugs* When something as awful as this happens -- it's hard to process. Take your time. Definitely don't worry about Twitter or blogging right now.

It's been a weird, rough week.
Everyone has to catch their breath (and put their heart back together) in their own way. Genuine tragedy is overwhelming, but we're here with you on that.
i felt the same way about trying to have an online presence in the wake of this tragedy. However, it did help to spread the word and I know it might sound cliched, but I think Jamie would give us a big PPtttthhhh for abandoning our posts.
But yes, I totally identify with that and look forward to your bright and sparkly return.
