I am very sorry to say that the ubiquitous Jay Lake died yesterday. I didn’t know him well, but I liked him well… as both an author and a person.
He was a member of the workshop I belong to, and though I joined in the latter days of his attendance, I did overlap with him enough to call him a friend, and to share laughs.
I will miss him, and really have nothing to say on this topic other than my heart and hopes go to his family… particularly the Child…
