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.
After she reads a corpse pulled from the river, Detective and Death Witch Mallory Mors is visited by its waterlogged ghost. As the clues dry up, she’s attacked with magic even in her dreams. If she can’t close the case, she’ll never be safe again.
Jim has won the Hugo, Nebula and Locus awards and his work has been translated into eighteen languages. He writes a column for Asimov’s and is on the faculty of the Stonecoast Creative Writing MFA Program at the University of Southern Maine.

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?
