I just heard that Paula Danzinger passed away. I'm off to pick up a copy of The Cat Ate My Gymsuit, since I can't find mine anymore, in memorium.

What an amazing writer she was. Her books will be such wonderful tools for girls for generations.

You're KIDDING?! She was supposed to be a presenter at the MWC--geesus. That's just...oy. She was an amazing writer.

cedarlibrarian, I think, reported earlier this week that she'd had a series of strokes. So sad. She will be missed.

That's terrible...just...wow. Am in shock right now.

Oh, hon, I am sorry. Finding out news via lj is never the best way, but in a way it's better than never knowing at all.

Yeah, that's true. I think it would have had more impact AFTER the MWC...but still. It's never nice to learn about someone dying, especially someone you admire. >.
