The fabulous Tanith Lee, born in 1947, has left us.
Author of over 90 novels, including several YAs and YA trilogies, her imaginative and wonderfully written fantasy and science fiction won many awards.
The first Tanith Lee that I remember reading was
The Silver Metal Lover.
It
'
s still on my shelf, and I think I'm going to reread it this coming week. I haven't read it in a long time, so I'm sure I'll find more to ponder on than I did 20 or 30 years ago.
I'm going to add some of her YA work to Alien Star Books. Her rich prose is romantic without being melodramatic. Teens who enjoy deep, dark, rich prose will love her work, from science fiction to fantasy to horror to lesbian fiction. She did it all.
Farewell Tanith, though we never met in this life, perhaps someday we will walk together beyond the stars.
