7. What a terrible loss
Octavia Butler was truly an original in the genre, a splendid talent.

I first heard of her when she received a MacArthur "genius grant" and she got a write-up in the LA Times Sunday magazine. I was so intrigued I began reading her books right away.

Years later, Gwen Ifill interviewed her in relation to some NASA/space travel question that came up in the news, and I remember thinking how wonderful that was...

I'm so very sorry she is gone. Rest sweetly, brave one, all adventures done...
