Octavia Butler: June 22, 1947-February 25, 2006
The announcement was made at the banquet today in at Potlatch 15 in Seattle: Octavia Butler, author of (among other things) The Parable of the Sower, the Xenogenesis trilogy, Blood Child, and Fledgling died yesterday. The news turned up on Steve Barnes' blog and has been confirmed by the King County, Washington, coroner.
I did not know her at all well, so the news doesn't directly affect me, but Butler is dear to many people who are dear to me, and their grief is palpable.
