Fantasy author Lisa A. Barnett died today of a brain tumor. She died peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by loved ones, including her partner and sometime collaborator Melissa Scott.

She was a good egg, and died way too young. I remember seeing her and Melissa often at northeast SF conventions. She will be sorely missed.
