Sorry folks, I can't find an article to link that really says much more than that. She was one of SciFi/Fantasy's great innovators, a Grand Master, and her work was a big part of my continuing love for the genre.

Farewell, Ms. McCaffrey. Thanks for all the great tales.

Oh, this is too bad. She definitely came up with some great stuff.

There were certain themes running through her work that I disagreed with, but she was unquestionably one of the most influential SciFi authors and she knew how to weave great stories with characters that felt real.

I had no idea she was that old.
