Vonda McIntyre

I'm late on this one because I had so much to post about.

Vonda N. McIntyre, who was a leading feminist author and mentor to many younger women, died at the age of 70 last week.

For me personally, I mostly knew her through her Star Trek novels rather than her original work.

But what was most important was that she was always encouraging and always passing things forward. Always mentoring younger writers.

And she was a dang good writer.
