A member of our writing group has passed away.

Helen Marie was smart, and funny, and friendly. And talented, and insightful, and generous. We loved hearing what she had to tell us about our work, as much as we loved reading her pages. We loved her tales of her travels. We loved her enthusiam for Dune. We loved her.

Because of one thing and another, we had few chances to see her over the past couple of years. We missed her. We got used to missing her, and now that’s how it will have to stay.
