Diana Wynne Jones died Saturday, March 26, 2011. Something I learned from reading Neil Gaiman's online journal entry today.
DWJ is so far and away my favorite author that there isn't really a 2nd-favorite, and even though I'm just one of millions of fans, I feel devastated, as if she was a favorite relative or someone else I knew well.
Really, though, I merely knew a small piece of her world, through which she created a small piece of mine.
I have not read any of her books but I know she touched so many readers. It is sad when a creative light goes out in the world.
