Siobhan Dowd, author of the incredible A Swift Pure Cry, died on August 21st from breast cancer at age 47. If you haven't read her poetic, powerful novel for teens, you really should. Sad that there won't be many more books like this coming from her, she had a real gift.

Such a sad, sudden loss. She still has two books coming out, too.
