In Memory of Carolyn Kaufman

I was so saddened to hear that Carolyn Kaufman--a gifted psychologist and author--recently died on September 7th from an aneurysm.

I knew Carolyn a little from my days at Querytracker and from her Writer's Guide to Psychology, an invaluable reference for writers. Patrick from QT wrote a touching tribute to her here. You can learn about her wonderful book here on her website.

Carolyn was part of this rich, supportive community of writers that welcomed me when I first began dabbling in fiction. She was always so kind! It's times like this that I realize how wonderful and tight-knit the writing community is. When one of us leaves, it feels very personal.

Carolyn will be very much missed.
