Dawn Foster was one of the first writers we approached when we began Repeater Books. From the start we knew she was the kind of voice we wanted to work with; combative, passionate and when she needed to be, very funny.
We are immensely saddened to announce that our dear friend
@DawnHFoster
died suddenly at home this week, related to her long-term illness. I, and I know many of you, loved her deeply, and it is a terrible loss.
