FEBRUARY 27, 2011
Author L.K. Madigan dies at age 47

The Mermaid’s Mirror was just begging for a sequel, wasn’t it? It’s because there was a sequel planned until the author was recently diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. So instead of starting her sequel, she wrote this eloquent “goodbye” to her friends and fans. She died on Wednesday, February 23rd.

 

For those if you that aren’t familiar, Lisa Kay Wolfson is (was?) the author of the 2010 William C. Morris Award for Flash Burnout and had most recently published The Mermaid’s Mirror. She survived breast cancer at age 27 and lived to realize her dreams of becoming a mother and a published author. She is survived by her husband, Neil, and teenaged son, Nathan.

She had many more stories to tell. If you’ll excuse me, I’m off to help her live forever - by rereading her books.
 
Stupid cancer.
