Sad, sad news

[closetgnome]

I just discovered that one of my favorite science fiction writers, Octavia Butler, died yesterday when she fell and hit her head. This is unspeakably sad news.

Go read Parable of the Sower. Or the trilogy-in-one-volume Lilith's Brood.

That's terrible! I've heard she's awesome. :(

I knew that she died, but not how. That's terrible.

That's awful- she is one of my three top favs as well.
