Can't hit 'like' on this. I can't describe how formative her writing was for me--the Pit Dragon trilogy, her innumerable short stories (especially the collection Neptune Rising, which I own to this day), the gut-punches of Briar Rose and Devil's Arithmetic. Everything.
May her memory be a blessing.
