Incredibly sadly, DWJ herself was not present, as she has just been diagnosed with lung cancer.

This is the only source I've heard on this. Is this true? Am I to become very very sad?

If it is true, I'm going to cry. She is one of my very favorite authors.

I've never read Diana Wynne Jones (yet), but I'm sorry to hear this. I know she's a very well-respected author.

Nice article. I'm sad too if DW Jones is seriously ill.
