I don't know, I personally thought she might last a year or two more. But what with all that stuff with the sequel being published and claims of elder abuse, I suppose there should have been alarm bells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted February 19, 2016 Darn, I really liked her books. Her talent will live on. Pissed I missed out on her, though... might have her in Shaun's but not on DDP nor shadow list. Even worse for the Deathlist because they actually had her last year, I never had her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
