Dang! RIP. I must confess I haven't read her stuff, though I'm an SF nerd since shortly after learning to read. I must correct that omission immediately. Now her agent and publishers, and estate, will get my money, instead of her. Owhell, dead artists always make more money than live ones do, and that does suck. I think I'll listen to the wolf-howl file instead of the taps file, as the former comports more with what I feel like doing on this kind of occasion.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! (sound of Jtg beating brisket). I sent the above before clicking on the MP3. When I did so I recognized "Fanfare for the Common Man", then looked at the top of the screen and saw it written there. Not Taps. I still think the wolf howl suits my feelings better.

She'd prefer Fanfare to the Wild Mourning, I think...

I'm NOT a sci-fi fan, but I did read one of her books and enjoyed it very much. RIP
