MURFREESBORO (AP) -- Science fiction author Andre Norton, who wrote the popular "Witch World" series of books, died Thursday at her home in Murfreesboro. She was 93. Her death was announced by friend Jean Rabe, who said Norton died of congestive heart failure. Norton was born Alice Mary Norton on February 17th, 1912 in Cleveland. She penned more than 130 novels during her career of nearly 70 years. She had the kind of career most of us would hope for. For those of you who are mathematical, notice that she wrote more than a book a year. Her output and her impact on other writers is most impressive, and I am sure she will be remembered as a prolific and influential author for a long time to come.
