Damn.

Author Octavia Butler died suddenly this weekend.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] romic475 for the heads-up.

Oh dear.
Thanks for the links and the heads-up, will also post.

I feel for her family. We have lost a great writer, but they have lost a hell of a woman.

Yeah I just read that in [livejournal.com profile] trektone's journal. Argh!
I really loved Fledgling. I'd have liked to have read a lot more books by her and always hoped somehow I'd meet her someday. Very sad news.

I'm with you. I've been a fan of hers for a while, and I was crushed by the news. I've met a LOT of authors in my life, but she was one that I would give anything to sit and talk with.
