Angela Oliver, "LemurKat", is an author and illustrator. She loves cute and quirky, weird and wonderful, wildlife, and they often find a way to creep into her stories.

In memory of Sir Pterry

Today I am in mourning, for today one of my favourite authors stepped out of this world and into the next (if you believe in that kind of thing). That author is Sir Terry Pratchett. He had struggled for eight years with alzheimers and finally it got the better of him.

Cute story with a surprisingly poignant message. Really flimsy premise to the "getting canceled" step though. I'm not sure romance readers would really react in such a way. And if they did, it could probably be solved by a well worded public announcem ...more
