I was saddened to hear that another one of the iconic authors of my younger days passed away this last week. I’m not sure which of her works I read first, but her breadth of material and depth of content made her work stand out. She tackled difficult subjects in engaging forms provoking growth in her readers while they enjoyed her tales.

She was equally comfortable writing fantasy, science fiction and main stream prose.

I’m currently re-reading some of her shorter science fiction works in memory of her passing. Sad to see another amazing voice passed from this world…
