This is heartbreaking news. Celeste was one of our favorite guests - we LOVED "Glass Bottle Dancer" and soon loved her, too, when she joined us for a short time. Her voice was electric. This is a big loss for the community. 💔
Sending our condolences to her family.

So sorry to hear that we've lost Celeste Rita Baker. I only got to publish her once, with "Glass Bottle Dancer" in LIGHTSPEED (which was selected for inclusion in Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy). www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/glas.... RIP.
