Further to an earlier post I made about the author Kage Baker’s ill health. I heard the terribly sad news on arriving home yesterday evening, that Ms. Baker had finally passed away (quietly) in the early hours of Sunday morning, after battling cancer for some time. My sincere condolences to her family and friends alike on their loss.

For more news and tributes, check out SWFA Obituary, Jeff Vandermeer’s wonderful words, HERE, and long time friend, Marty Halpern’s heartfelt tribute HERE.

Kage Baker was a fabulous writer and will be sorely missed.

Welcome

“To live my life without science fiction would be like trying to exist (if not, breathe) in the vacuum of space. In a word: impossible!

Science fiction not only feeds my mind with new ideas, it feeds my imagination. It gives me leave to go new places, take chances, and dare myself to go beyond what’s accepted, go beyond what’s considered normal, and look out into deep, dark space, and know that there is the distinct possibility of life existing elsewhere.” — Alexandra Wolfe

Science is built of facts the way a house is built of bricks. But an accumulation of facts is no more science than a pile of bricks is a house. — Robert A. Heinlein
