![]() ![]() My mother (a regular donor) got in touch with her, and asked if she could send a card to me instead. She was a small woman, and the Red Cross wouldn’t let her donate, so this was her way of supporting them. One of the things she did was to offer a personalized, hand-made card to anyone who would donate blood. Here’s an excerpt from the post I wrote when I learned she was gone: The map includes the Kagan Sea, and in chapter one, the ships Saint Tocohl and Lord Lynn Margaret are both named after characters from Hellspark. ![]() She offered advice and shared her own experiences, and even provided a wonderful blurb for Goblin Quest.Ĭlose readers will notice several references to Janet in Mermaid’s Madness. I’m not sure how I got the courage to contact her, but we ended up swapping a number of e-mails over the years. Janet was the first professional writer I talked to when I began trying to break in. She also wrote the original SF novel Hellspark as well as a collection called Mirabile and a Hugo-winning story “The Nutcracker Coup.” There’s a warmth to her writing that I absolutely love. Janet Kagan was the author of, in my humble opinion, one of the best Star Trek novels out there: Uhura’s Song. ![]()
