Oh, no
Diana Wynne Jones has passed away.
I love her Chrestomanci series. I grew up on them, and they inspired this wild sprawling never finished fantasy "novel" I wrote in 6th grade. I also read a few of her others books, too, including Howl's Moving Castle. This is horrible news.

Cancer. Do not like.

Taken from Wikipedia:
Jones was diagnosed with lung cancer in the early summer of 2009.[8] She underwent surgery in July and reported to friends that the procedure had been successful.[9] However in June 2010 she announced that she would be discontinuing chemotherapy 'which is serving only to make her feel very ill indeed.' She stated at one point that she had regained her sense of taste and smell. Mid-2010, she was halfway through a new book, with plans for another to follow.[10]
