Ann Crispin is saying goodbye, farewell and thank you. The acclaimed author of her own, original StarBridge series and novels set in the Star Wars, V, Alien and Pirates of the Caribbean universes, as well as, of course, such beloved and bestselling Star Trek tales as Yesterday’s Son, Sarek and Time for Yesterday, has revealed that she’s nearing the end of a protracted battle against cancer.
“I've been hesitant to make this post, but it's time,” Crispin –
whose pen name is A.C. Crispin -- wrote today on her Facebook page. “I
want to thank you all for your good wishes and prayers. I fear my
condition is deteriorating. I am doing the best I can to be positive but
I probably don't have an awful lot of time left. I want you all to know
that I am receiving excellent care and am surrounded by family and
friends.
“I wish all aspiring writers the will to finish and a good contract.
Please continue to monitor Writer Beware and be careful who you sign
with. Victoria Strauss and Richard White are there to help.
“I've asked Michael to collect and read me your messages. As I don't
know how things will proceed, I don't know if I'll have the strength to
post on Facebook again.”
