RIP Jay Lake (1964-2014)

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2014

Author, Jay Lake, passed away yesterday morning after numerous battles with cancer. He fought long, he fought hard, and though the disease ultimately prevailed, Jay still managed to produce a fantastic body of work in his 49 short years.

Jay was a wonderful writer, whose work was as much poetry to me as it was prose. I am deeply honored to have had a chance to help bring some of his visions to life these past few years.

Jay had a lot of friends in this industry, and touched a lot of people’s lives. If you were one of them, and you want to make a contribution in Jay’s name, please make it to:
