....And an "Oh, dammit." I just discovered Kage Baker's "Company" yarns recently;* and this morning I find out she's been gone awhile already.
Ave, Ms. Baker, and thanks for the works you've left us.

I read The Garden of Iden years and years ago and loved it, never could figure out what the rest of them were though I wanted to continue reading the series, and eventually forgot about them.
ReplyDeleteNow, Wiki tells me what all the novels are.... and I'm broke so I can't get them. Figures.
Bookmarked anyway, for later resolution. Thanks for reminding me of a set of stories I always wanted to finish!
There is something incredibly sad about discovering a new author only to learn they've passed. With my luck, it seems to usually happen with people who only ever published one or two novels.
ReplyDeleteI have trouble finding living authors I like -- many of the "new" ones I have found through the years, like Stephen Robinette or Tom Reamy, were already gone.
ReplyDeleteWe're temporary. I'm glad some of have left thoughts and words behind for the rest.
I loved Sky Coyote. Read a couple of others, didn't enjoy them so much.
