Welcome back to Monday’s Writer’s Links. It is with a heavy heart I have learned of Ursula K. Le Guin’s passing. She was an inspiration science fiction and fantasy author who brought a literary style to the genre. I consider her one of my personal influences as an author. You will find several links to articles about her this month in my link lists. I hope you enjoy the articles this week.

She was my writing hero, always the first on my list of writers who have influenced me. I feel so blessed that she left so many words behind, and that there are so many I still haven’t even read yet.
She was certainly outspoken as well. There are many stories of Ms. Le Guin having fireworks with SWFA. I admired her for sticking to her guns, even during times when I did not completely agree with her position. You had to respect her that way.
I admire her for that, too.
