Fortunately, as long as their book are reprinted, the authors don't really die as far as our memories are concerned. It happens she has a new book coming out in a couple of months. I find that rather a nice thing, that there is yet one more book of hers to be published. Her last complete novel, "Three Hands of Scorpio," is set to be released in April. Norton's publisher, Tor Books, rushed to have one copy printed so that the author, who had been sick for almost a year, could see it. "She was able to hold it on Friday," Jewell said. "She took it and said, 'What a pretty cobalt blue for the cover.'"
