Author Mark Bourne, 50, died Saturday February 25, 2012.
His short fiction appeared in Asimov’s Science Fiction, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Realms of Fantasy, and numerous anthologies.
He was a teacher, scriptwriter, film reviewer for film.com, and producer of science shows for planetariums and museums.
He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Lawhead Bourne.
Admiral Ky Vatta returns to her home planet of Slotter Key expecting painful reminders of loss, but also a hero’s welcome. Instead she’s plunged into a desperate struggle for mere survival, with the elements and unknown enemies against her.
David Lee Summers is an author whose writing spans a wide range of the imaginative from science fiction to steampunk to horror. When he’s not writing, he operates telescopes at Kitt Peak National Observatory.

I’m very sorry to hear that, and I can only offer my deepest condolences to his friends and family.
Upon seeing his name here, I realise I’ve heard of him (good things only) but I’ve never actually read his work. I’ll find something of his today and read it–that’s a promise. Any recommendations?
