She passed away this weekend (for those not familiar with her, she was the writer of Omaha The Cat Dancer, and had been fighting cancer for a while now.
Ahh, nuts. I met her at a con several years ago, after hours in a lounge, and had a brief but pleasant chat one-on-one with her. She was a really sweet person, and this news bites.
Was Reed Waller going to be illustrating the new Omaha she was working on? As I recall they didn't have the most cordial of breakups.
And what's this about the money troubles she and Jim Vance were having?
I think Reed was drawing the new one. I remember reading the info on their breakup back on Usenet, and I'm just as surprised that they might have ever considered working together again.
