Neil GaimanMy friend the brilliant author Rachel Pollack is coming to the end of her life. She won the Nebula, World Fantasy and Arthur C Clarke awards. She is a world renowned expert on Tarot, and her books on Tarot are still regarded as the good standard. She created the first trans superhero, in Doom Patrol in '93. I will miss her very much when she goes. I am writing this at the request of her wife Zoe, to let her friends know that the end is soon, and to let the obituarists know too.

My wife @lizmat and I have all her SF books (we're not so much into tarot). We've been personal friends, as in coming over to dinner in Amsterdam. We are sad to hear about her leaving this world.
If you are still in contact with Rachel, please say that Liz and Wendy love her, we are still thinking about her, and hoping she has moments of happiness. We still are reading her books, including our favourite Alqua Dreams, which is one of the best sci-fi-horrors ever written.
