While I would much prefer to celebrate the new year by listing the births of new writers, my clairvoyant talents are sadly lacking in that direction, so I will just have to do the opposite and bid a fond farewell to some of the writers, some well-known and some not so well-known, that we lost in the past year:

Jan 1 – Tillie Olsen |
Jul 12 – Marc Behm |
May their works live on forever even if they couldn’t….
Two I’ll miss the most are Robert Jordan and Madeleine L’Engle. How about you?

I’m with you on missing Jordan and L’Engle. Of all the writers on your list, those two are authors I read and re-read. At least Jordan’s estate has hired a writer to complete “A Memory of Light.” May it be soon.
And may those of us who aspire to write Novels of Influence, be at the very least writers who make a difference.
Thanks for the post.
