She Passed Away in March of 2022

The one thing about meeting so many people online is that just like in the "real world," they also often leave us. And just like in the real world, you do sometimes still lose touch even if many of the people we meet are merely a click away. One such friend, who I met back in the days of Bubblews, with whom we found a strong connection because she was a horror writer and I was also, as well as a former horror magazine and book editor, was R.K. Finnell, affectionately known as Roxan. I had checked in on her a few times before. But never found what I was looking for. Until today, when I learned she passed away in March of 2022 after a short illness. I wish I had known sooner, or maybe even had the chance to chat with her one more time. I was happy that I got to interview her in 2018 shortly after her short story collection, Grue Tales, was published, writing as Ivan S. Graves, and even wrote the foreword to her book. Rest in peace Roxan. You are missed.
