Tanith Lee and CLOCKWORK PHOENIX

But Anita and I agree, if we get to create this new book, then it will be, must be, a tribute to Tanith.

Her memory for a blessing.

Very sorry to hear of her passing.

I knew she had faced some health problems, but I had hopes that they'd been overcome.

I knew nothing about her health; this came out of nowhere for me. Cancer?

Apparently she mentioned, back in 2010, she'd been treated for breast cancer. But no one has stated a cause of death; simply that she passed peacefully.

What a lovely thing to do.

I was amazed at how Tanith could write consistently amazing stories, each one lusciously detailed and with tremendous heart. Not a wimp among them.

How fortunate we as readers were to receive those stories, and how doubly fortunate we as editors were to work with their creator.
