Ten years ago today Andre Norton closed her eyes for the last time in this world. It was a very sad day for many of us, and Xenite.Org was blacked out for 24 hours to ensure that all our visitors knew that Andre was gone.
Today fans of the Grand Dame of Science Fiction and Fantasy have honored her memory with a loving tribute hosted by Andre Norton Books, the largest Andre Norton fan site on the Web and the only one to receive official authorized status from Ms. Norton’s estate.
The tribute includes messages from friends and admirers of Andre as well as a previously unpublished story, “Fanus”, that is sure to thrill and delight Andre’s legions of devoted readers.
We also have a special discussion commemorating Andre’s passing at SF-Fandom’s Andre Norton Forum as well as the 10-year tribute.
We at Xenite.Org and SF-Fandom want to express our thanks to fellow Andre fan Jay Watts for putting together the tribute. We know he invested a lot of time and effort into the project.
