Jay Lake

Jun. 1st, 2014 10:03 am
Speculative fiction writer Jay Lake passed away this morning.

Apart from being a Campbell award winner and Hugo and Nebula nominated fiction writer, Jay Lake was also funny, and extremely supportive of fellow writers. I had the amazing luck to spend time with him at more than one ICFA, chatting writing and publishing and alligators and films, and I am incredibly grateful for the unstinting support and encouragement he gave to a complete stranger.

Thanks for everything, Jay. You will be missed.
Jay Lake would like to assure you all that he is a member of both the male and human species...

...he will follow up this claim a few minutes later with a happy tale of books bound with (!) human skin. (To be fair, this was in response to a happy tale of a nightshade made from cured human skin, and I think I've now appalled all of you enough for one Friday morning.)

********

In general not feeling too great today, so not sure how much of today's conference I'll be attending.
