Life, A Tenuous Hold

I just read about the passing of an author whose books I read and really enjoy. Jennifer Rardin was one of the first authors I read in the Urban Fantasy genre and was always on my auto-buy list. Apparently, she died suddenly on Monday.

Sure, I've dealt with death before, but this is different. I didn't know her, not really , and I wasn't an obsessive fan. This woman brushed my life with her words and now I won't get to hear any more of her stories. I just don't know how to feel about that. I guess I'm sad that someone I knew, however fleetingly, has died. And at only 45.

However ineffectual it may sound, my condolences do go to her family.

May your next journey be a good one, Ms Rardin.
