For those here that are readers of fantasy and science fiction, I have
some sad news. On March 17 Andre Norton pasted off this earth to
eternity. She wrote, co-authored, and edited aproximately 189 titles. A
leader in the character driven field of the science fiction and fantasy
genres, she created personalities her readers could identify with. Many
of today's writers grew up reading her books and emulating her style.
The movie series "The Beastmaster", was very loosely adapted from one
of her novels. Her fans will miss her, and the science fiction
community has lost a source of inspiration.
