She was one of my writing heroes. Talented, imaginative, and gracious. I once wrote an article I titled “Don’t Gimme Those Straining-My-Hands-At-the-Laptop Blues” in deliberate homage to her 1981 essay “The Straining Your Eyes Through the Viewscreen Blues.” (She was quite nice about it, which meant the world to me.)
She helped revolutionize SF, including biology as the science in her fiction, perhaps most famously in Dreamsnake. She will be missed, but her stories live on.

I work in healthcare, so I'm going to be coy about certain aspects of my job.I have a wonderful supportive husband, and four demanding but lovable cats.
I'm a writer, a knitter/spinner/weaver, a young stroke survivor, and a type 2 diabetic.
