Rest in peace, Sistren. RIP
She was at the Black to the Future Science Fiction Festival in Seattle in 2004 and I had a chance to go and didn’t. A friend of mine went and got to meet her and talk with her.
I will never get to meet this woman. I should have went. She is one of my favorite writers EVER and a big influence on my own sci-fi writing. Oh my god, I am all torn up.
