It breaks my heart I won’t ever have a new novel by her to read again. I hope that everyone who ever loved her books spreads the word far and wide to read her now and appreciate her legacy.

I just started reading her Sky Coyote series and became a fan, and am looking for the whole series, just have 5 books now. Would have loved to seen more of her writing in the future.

My heartfelt sympathy to her family, had a grandfather go through lung cancer, and I know how hard it is.

I regret the stories lost and feel for her family. I hope they’ll find some peace soon.

Kage is the most wonderful writer – this is so tragic. When I learned she lived in Pismo Beach I foolishly felt horribly jealous of her. Now I am so glad she is in a peaceful environment in that beautiful, lovely place.

It breaks my heart that this may be one of the last stories I’ll read of hers. I came across In the Garden of Iden at BookPeople in Austin back in 1998, and since, have bought every book and story of hers the moment they were released. Her characters are the embodiment of courage, grace, strength, and humor – as is the wonderful lady herself. This is just the worst news and so terribly sad.

Next Christmas is going to be a little darker. My next biggest worry is for Kathleen. Her health hasn’t been so hot through all of this and I’m worried we’re going to lose her too.
