Ending the day on a sad note. My friend eluki, who wrote many things under many different names, among them eluki bes shahar, Rosemary Edghill, and James Mallory, died yesterday of sepsis. This news coming to me from eluki’s wife.
Aside Steve, eluki is the writer I’ve known the longest. She was a remarkable person — brilliant and difficult, which can be said of many of us. She taught me more about writing than anyone else, again, save Steve.
We dedicated Crystal Soldier to eluki’s character, Butterflies-are-Free-Peace-Sincere.
eluki and I had grown apart after her move to the opposite coast, but I’m going to miss her, so much.
Please share this, so we can hopefully catch everyone who ought to know.
I shared to Facebook, Sharon. This is a huge loss. Thank you for letting us know. I will write a blog later and point to yours here, too.
That is very sad news. I did not know her but enjoyed her work (understatement – thinking about Butterflies and Paladin makes me smile). Thank you for the names she was published under, I’ll look for things that I haven’t read.
I wish you comfort.
I just saw the news via a link on Discord. My heart aches. eluki was a friend for many years.
Too many gone.
Thank you for sharing the news. I likely would not have known for much longer a time otherwise.
