At the con, Kage informed me that she had surgery scheduled, but the prognosis wasn't as dire then as it had become by Christmas eve, when cancer had been found in Kage's brain. I knew last year that Kage was ill, but it wasn't until we spoke together at the World Fantasy Convention in San Jose, California, over Halloween weekend - Kage in a wheelchair while her sister Kathleen looked after her - that I learned that the evil culprit was cancer. My friend, author Kage Baker, is extremely ill. ![]()
