Unfortunately, Mr. Lake lost his battle with cancer this morning.   I've read and enjoyed several of his books and even had a brief e-mail conversation with him several years back. I hadn't realized it'd taken a turn for the worst. Darn it all to heck.

Several of his stories have run on various EA 'casts and were, as I recall, generally well-received. Definitely a loss for the literary community and world at large. :(

Sad news indeed. I only know his fiction from the podcasts - haven't read anything else - but I've been following his blog on and off, and he was clearly much loved, both as a person and as an author.
