Steve Cawte has passed away.

I was saddened early this morning to learn of some terrible news — Impspired Editor Steve Cawte has passed away.  Like many other writers, I was lucky to benefit from his warmth and encouragement when he published my work in his first-rate literary magazine.

Steve was a sublimely gracious man; his kindness permeated his every interaction with his fellow creative people.  And he will be sorely missed by the indie lit community that he worked so hard and so cheerfully to promote.

Octopasta!

Because there are two things in this world I cannot resist.  One is octopus and the other is a decent portmanteau.
