octavia butler died

Wow, I actually first found out about her passing from the Woman of Color Blog. For those that don't know, Butler was one of the few African-American science fiction writers of prominence. She's been awarded both Hugo and Nebula award (the top prizes in science fiction) as well as a MacArthur award (a "genius grant"). The only novels of hers which I've read are Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents but both were amazing. Apparently she had started a third novel in the series called Parable of the Trickster, but never finished. She will be missed.
