truepennyI was on a panel with Kage Baker at Odyssey Con two years ago; she was wonderful--smart and dryly funny and an overflowing cornucopia of knowledge. I understand her books are the same way (I have not read them due to my ongoing problems reading fiction, and I hate it because I know I'm missing out.) Kage is now fighting metastasized cancer; as her caregiver says, "At this point, it is a race to see what dies faster: Kage or the cancer."
She is too weak for phone calls, but messages and cards would be deeply appreciated; the address information, both email and land, is in this post.

I have no words for how I feel. Kage is a wonderful woman.
Fuck.
