I've just, belatedly, read of her death on January 31st. She was only 57.

I liked her writing a great deal; she was one of the handful of authors whose works I regularly bought in hardcover.

'The Bohemian Astrobleme', possibly one of her last short stories, at Subterranean Press (via John Scalzi).

It was very sad news.
Welcome home: did you have fun in the sun?

I did have fun, yes! In a relaxing sort of way.

Was it you who said a Hilary Mantel novel reminded them of another novel about girls living in London? And was the novel Edna O'Brien's Girls of Slender Means? Have just read Mantel's An Experiment in Love and am keen to compare!

Yes it was, and yes, it was.
