Mary Rosenblum (1952-2018)

ByJeremy Sim
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mary Rosenblum, a wonderful writer and friend of Clarion West. Mary passed away on March 11, 2018, in an accidental plane crash in Clark County, WA. She was 65 years old.

Mary attended Clarion West in 1988, and taught at CW in 2008 and 2012. Throughout her career as a novelist, she published widely in the science fiction and mystery genres. She remains firmly in hearts of many of our students, some of whom count her lessons among their most formative experiences as writers.

Condolences to her loved ones, from all the lives she touched here at CW.
