Kage Baker, 1952-2010

We are saddened to report the death of Kage Baker, one of the finest SF writers of our time.

At Tor.com David Hartwell writes, "We are saddened by the passing of our esteemed author and loyal friend, Kage Baker (1952-2010), at home in Pismo Beach, California, after a difficult battle with cancer. A fine career has been cut short, and we and all SF and fantasy readers are poorer for it." Read his full piece for, among other things, the list of Kage's cool jobs and a few words on her books. Kage was a wonderful part of the Tor.com blogging team, and she will be missed by many.
