@Pat/QM, I was saddened to see Karen Solem's obituary in today's PM:
Karen Solem, former editor, literary agent, and founder of Spencerhill Associates, died on January 19. Solem was "a trailblazer who paved the way for female editors" and published Nora Roberts' first 100 books, while also playing "a key role in launching the careers of NYT bestsellers Sandra Brown, Barbara Delinsky, and Janet Evanovich." Roberts writes that she remembers Solem for her "kindness, smarts, humor, compassion, love of books, and unwavering support of those who write them."
