Lee Martindale (1949-2026) passed away on March 10 after a brief illness.

I have known Lee for something like a quarter of a century, although I hadn’t seen her in over a decade. We used to get together at conventions in Texas and Oklahoma. Lee was always entertaining and educational to talk to. I have missed our conversations and hate that we won’t have any more.

Lee wrote short fiction and edited the anthologies Such a Pretty Face and The Ladies of Trade Town. I interviewed Lee here,

Lee is sruvived by her husband George, to whom I wish to express my condlences for his loss.
