Is there life after death?
Contemplating the death of a character is a very difficult thing to do. Does the plot benefit from killing said character? How will it affect the other characters? Will it kill your series?
These questions, among others, are currently on my mind as I'm mapping out the final two books to my series. How do I end the series while still leaving an opening to bridge to a new series? I'm not planning to stop writing, so I need to keep myself a loophole somewhere...and avoid horrible cliches while doing it.
Ever been reading a book when the author killed off one of your favourite characters? How did that make you feel? Was there still life in the book or series for you after that death?

Now, I can't give that sort of thing away... *wink*
Anyway, I don't suppose this is a hint at the very important character death you're not telling us? Because I think it's either Mort(emer), Davin, or Sharolyn. Am I close?
