Travel Well, Octavia Butler

Octavia Butler, the author of such novels as The Xenogenesis series, The Parable series and many others, died on February 24th.

This is very sad news, indeed. Octavia Butler was a brilliant writer, with a very dark view of the future which showed throughout her works. I can honestly say that Octavia Butler was and is my all time favorite writer. She wrote prose that was simple and elegant. She wrote stories that would make you reexamine your whole outlook on the world. She was everything I hope to one day be.

God’s speed, Ms Butler. You will be missed.
