A friend died today, after an historic battle with cancer. He was young, and extraordinarily talented.
Seek out science fiction by Jay Lake. Three years ago, at the World Fantasy Convention, editors unanimously singled out Jay out as the most promising writer in the genre.
He battled cancer with every ounce of his being. But it was relentless...ineluctable.
Johns Hopkins used Jay as a landmark patient. They traced every gene and tried to save him with genetically specific treatment. Sick unto death, Jay traveled back and forth between Washington D.C. and Oregon.
I last saw him at World Con last year. We shared a cab, and you would not have known death was his constant companion.
Today, in hospice, he finally lost his fight. Buy his books. He should not be forgotten.
