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.
In the third Guardians of Aandor book, the cast leaves modern-day New York and returns to a vanquished kingdom. Daniel Hauer must decide whether he’ll risk his life to save a kingdom he barely knows.
M. Darusha Wehm is from Canada, but currently lives on her sailboat in Wellington, New Zealand after spending the past several years living and sailing around the Pacific. She’s the author of five science fiction novels.

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?
