Michael Bracken forwarded the sad news that Sandra Seamans, longtime member and 2010–12 president of the Short Mystery Fiction Society, died May 23, aged 68.
I had the pleasure of editing Sandra's 2008 story "Starlight" at Thrilling Detective and encouraged her succeeding me as SMFS president.
According to our friend Patti Abbott, the 2015 deaths of Sandra's husband and mother stopped her writing, but she remained committed to blogging short story market information until days of her death.
I think it would be a tribute to her if someone else were inspired to track markets as enthusiastically as she did. I also hope her example of SMFS service inspires new members to ensure the Society's future.
