A sad farewell to novelist, short story writer, and BCS author K.D. Wentworth.

Her story “The Orangery” in BCS #12 was an Honorable Mention in Gardner Dozois’s Year’s Best SF 27 and a Million Writers Award Notable Story of 2009.

Up-and-coming writers may know her name from the Writers of the Future contest. She was the first reader, reading all the submissions and choosing the Semifinalists and Finalists, and providing critiques for the Semifinalists.

We have made BCS #12 now available in ebook files for anyone who would like to read or reread the story in those formats.
