Jennifer Rardin, who wrote the fab Jaz Parks UF series, passed away this week. I’ve never actually met her, even though I’m a big fan (I tend not to read many UF series, simply because I write it, but I loved her books), and now, sadly, I’ll never get that chance. It never seems right when someone in the prime of their life passes away. My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.

For fans of her series, it says on her site that the 7th in her Jaz Parks series will be out this November. The final book in the series was completed before her passing and will be out in June 2011.

Rest in Peace, Jennifer.
