Vonda N McIntyre died this morning. When we signed the contract in January to republish her first novel, she didn't know she was ill. When she told us her diagnosis, we wanted to make sure she would see the cover, and would try to have The Exile Waiting republished in time. 1/ @JaneCornwell10 immediately got going on the cover art that we'd commissioned, and @unamccormack managed to reorganise her schedule to be able to send us the 7000 word introduction by the summer. I shoved books around to make room in our schedule too. 2/
