Ursula K. LeGuin, 1929–2018

To say that Ursula K. LeGuin has been an influence in my writing life would be a woeful understatement. Her Hugo award winning novel ‘The Left Hand of Darkness’ opened my eyes to what could be done. By women. With courage.

The world has changed a great deal since LeGuin finally found a publisher for Left Hand of Darkness, but the book still stands as a beacon to all writers: stay true to yourself, be brave, sometimes merit is recognized.

This is a screenshot of LeGuin’s author page on Amazon:

Such wonderful books, and now there’ll never be another.

Never being forgotten,
