Just read the excerpt from PublishersMarketplace. Didn't know her or her work but from the human and writer-hood point of view, nothing less than tragic.


Irish author Bree O'Mara was among 103 people who died in the crash of an Afriqiyah Airlines plane that missed the runway in Libya yesterday. She was heading to London to sign a deal for her second novel NIGEL WATSON SUPERHERO, which the Guardian says "would have been her most significant career break." She was supposed to seal the deal during the London Book Fair but couldn't fly in due to the ash cloud. Her first novel HOME AFFAIRS "was well received in South Africa" (where she was born).

I don't have much to say, except this makes me sad. Thanks for posting it.

Lousy, lousy news. The whole thing is just tragic.

Hey, that's horrible. My heart goes out to her family and friends. :(

That's a nightmare. How awful for her and her loved ones.

Rough that Fate summons The End that quickly.
