Her work always inspired me, and I will never forget her. I can't stop crying, to think of how many lives she's touched, and how its come to this.<br /><br />R.I.P Diana, we'll always love you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-66550806831094190932011-03-28T07:25:00.598+01:002011-03-28T07:25:00.598+01:00Diana Wynne Jones was a one of a kind, her books a...Diana Wynne Jones was a one of a kind, her books are amazing and I've enjoyed every one of them that I have read so far. <br /><br />I've been a fan for two years and I just think Diana was wonderful. It's because of her I began writing again and am going after my dream of being an author. I will miss her very much.Tsalagi_Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15499942630188787931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-235469445898884062011-03-26T19:56:29.392+00:002011-03-26T19:56:29.392+00:00I have been goggling at Amazon in search of The To...I have been goggling at Amazon in search of The Tough Guide (after Adam's recommendation) and discovered, to my surprise and utter delight, that there's a third book in the Castle series.<br /><br />How could I not have known?<br /><br />To every cloud a silver lining, I suppose. But for all the things I'm glad to have found since the news, the skies are still looking pretty grey.

It should be required reading for anyone even thinking about writing in the epic fantasy subgenre.<br /><br />Beyond that, disgracefully, my only contact with her work as watching HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE. Time to check out some of her books, I think.Adam Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383677312079611311noreply@blogger.com
