I know. I did a quick google for a bio link for her, and the first one that popped up had her quoted as saying that she was a 56 year old writer... who wanted to someday be an 80 year old writer. So sad.
Now I feel guilty that I could never get into her books. I have Lilith's Brood but haven't read it past the opening pages. But maybe the kids were the problem and I can give it another go.
Cris! Any way to talk you into considering a YASH thing in July? In or near Olympia? The weekend of the 14th-16th? Chandra's gonna look into being there, I think, so maybe you could both come? It really wouldn't be the same at all without you there! I still miss you horribly.
Turns out me and Jaz are gonna be up there the same week and it's kinda snowballed into a full blown gathering in the works.
And if not this time, my MIL is living in WA state now, which is why we'll be up there from the 7th-17th. So maybe on our trip up next year we could make it up to BC.
Hey, I didn't know Octavia Butler was black! And I didn't know she had died. That is really sad.
On another note I also miss you terribly, you scoundrel, and would love to see you online or IRl sometime!!!!! Say you'll come to Portland when we're there! How the heck are ya?
