I was very sad to hear of the death of
Robert Holdstock, one of my all-time favorite writers. His Mythago Wood and its sequels and stories had a profound influence on me as both a Witch and as a writer. Wonderful, mythic stories.
I'm amazed that the Wikipedia article is already updated, and surprised to find that I shared a birthday with him.
He will be missed. Some of my f-list knew him personally, and my condolences go out to you for your loss.
