Some bad news folks. One of the greatest writers of magic in the world, Diana Wynne Jones, is very ill.

DWJ has stopped chemotherapy treatments and doctors have predicted months rather than years. From what I’ve read/heard the treatments are making her very sick and Diana has decided to stop them and face what comes.

Diana is THE reason I write the type of stories I do. Chrestomaci’s nine lives was my beginning and it has been a whirlwind, lifelong affair since. Thoughts are with her family and friends who are seeing her. You can send wishes/thoughts and match boxes by email which are printed and delivered reguarly.
