Kage Baker

We lost Kage Baker today.В  SheВ  fought uterine cancer very privately but then, earlier in January, her sister and caregiver, Kathleen, let the public know that she was ill and that the cancer had spread to her brain. Treatment was aggressive but the cancer was more so.В  The world of speculative fiction has lost someone very, very special.

If you’ve never read anything by this wonderful author, I urge you to do so—you don’t need to be a big fan of science fiction or fantasy to enjoy her work. Start with In the Garden of Iden for science fiction or, if you want to try fantasy, The Anvil of the World.В  You won’t be sorry you did, I promise.
