Dear Vonda,
The first time I saw your name on a book cover was in a copy of Enterprise: The First Adventure. It was early 90s and I had just discovered that the only SF/fantasy bookshop in Barcelona was selling Star Trek novels. Of course, the bookshop had your non-Star Trek work so after finishing Enterprise, I bought Dreamsnake. And book by book I kept reading your work.
I just want to say thank you. Thank you for so many hours of amazing stories. Your work inspired and enriched us.
Love and best wishes from Spain.

Damn it.
I haven't seen you for several years, Vonda, and I'm extremely sorry to hear this.
Many thanks to Eileen and Jane for helping you out at what must be a difficult and emotionally as well as physically draining time.
I hope the treatments you're getting alleviate some or all of your physical symptoms.
I don't know any stronger words of comfort to you, but I hope you have all the support you need.
--Steve

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I hope the treatments will help you to make a comfortable life during the time you have, and that you'll have many enjoyable times mixed in with the rest. (My husband had metastatic inoperable prostate cancer. )

Vonda, you have always been my star. I light a million candles for you. "virtual endless hug".

dear vonda, ever since i read 'of mist, and grass, and sand' when i was in college you've been one of the writers i've looked up to (actually, revered). sending love and light and healing and hugs

Keeping you in the light in all things. You are beloved and appreciated.

Hello, Vonda. My SO and I have been fans of yours since we were pre-teens. "Dream Snake" is one of my favorite novels. We send you our love and our best wishes for you and your loved ones. Thank you so much for sharing your stories with us.

Hi Vonda. You made such a wonderful, nourishing impression on me when you visited my cohort and I at Clarion West last summer. I love the beautiful crocheted creations you gave, and I keep mine in a place of honor. I am so sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. All of my love and good wishes are floating across the country from Cape Cod, Massachusetts to you in sweet old Seattle. All the love in the universe.

Sending much love and candlelight. Thank you Eileen and Jane for setting this up and communicating.
