Come away alone

[sovay]

From Locus Online:

Fantasy writer Lisa A. Barnett, born 1958, died this morning at her home in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, from brain tumor. She and her partner Melissa Scott published three fantasy novels together, The Armor of Light (1988), Point of Hopes (1995), and Point of Dreams (2001), the last of which won a Lambda Literary Award in 2002.

Bah.

Oh no.

My heart goes to Melissa Scott.

I never met either one of them, but I discovered Point of Hopes the same semester I learned that Melissa Scott had been a student of one of my favorite professors at Brandeis (whose bookshelf in fact included the paperback of A Choice of Destinies). I am not happy about this at all.

Oh. Oh, I'm sorry.

Point of Hopes and Point of Dreams are two books I go back to when I need light but well-done reads.

That's very, very sad.

I don't think people should die at all, really.
