Words for the wise from the mouth of a fool.

I'm saddened to hear that Karen Wynn Fonstad has passed away. I've been a big fan of her work for a long time, since the Atlas of Pern was one of the first books I ever ordered from the Science Fiction Book Club. I later had the chance to meet her when her son lived down the hall from me in college, one of the first chances I had to connect a person with a name on the cover of a book.

When I was compiling data from my manuscript into the maps for Kingdoms of the Sword and Stars a few years ago, I thought of her and considered trying to get in touch with the Fonstads again. I wish I had.
