Janet Kagan has died. I loved her series in Asimov’s about genetic mishaps on a colony planet (“The Loch Moose Monster”, “Return of Kangaroo Rex” etc), collected in Mirabile, and was sorry when we stopped getting new stories from her. Now we never will again. All Frankenswine should fly at half-mast today.

Yeah, a sad day. I only saw a few of the stories, but I enjoyed them. I must check out the collection.
I’ve heard people say good things about her Star Trek novel, too. But I don’t generally read media tie-in books so… I dunno.
