ellenkushnerI've been posting this month about Kage Baker's terminal illness. She left this world early this morning. Requiescat in pace. Thank you, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yuki_onna, for passing me the word off-line. Kage was not a close friend of mine - I've met her at cons, but we never even corresponded, though I've given enthusiastic blurbs to some of her books, and have loved and admired all of them. I do hope that she will have the immortality that all writers crave: that her work will be read and recognized by generations to come.
Her friend and sometimes publisher Marty Halpern published a very moving appreciation earlier this week, including some of his correspondance with her about her work.
