One of my favorite people on Earth is gone.

One of my favorite pictures of Helga, collecting a literal pile of awards on CamCat’s behalf at the Ben Franklin’s one year.

I knew Helga Schier for a couple years before she became the editor for Ghost Tamer, and I liked her immediately and grew to love her, as I think everyone who knew her did.

I started working at CamCat as a publishing assistant in December of 2020. As a former actor and on-ag

Meredith’s Quotes

“to live in this world

you must be able
to do three things
to love what is mortal;
to hold it

against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go”
― Mary Oliver, New and Selected Poems, Volume One
