OctaviaButler.net A fan blog for Octavia E. Butler, writer.

Years ago I walked by a book rack on a rare occasion when I did not have a book with me... I discovered Wildseed! Than Mind of My Mind, Clay's Ark & Patternist. It made no differnce that I was reading these in the opposite order that she wrote them. Amazing! She amazed me & still does. I read every thing I could find. Years after purchasing Fledgling I finally read it. It was another wonderous series waiting to be born... Many more pleasures & gifts to give us. RIP Octavia Butler we miss you.

This universe is infinite, I know there are beings from other dimension. These being is trying to make contact with those who is reaching out beyond religions, and spirituality. I know that our people is not of Akibalon (Africa),But our origin is from the stars. They send me frequencies that vibrates into images that I draw or paint.

I first read Octavia E. Butler in a graduate school class about women's utopian and dystopian fiction, along with works by Marge Piercy and Doris Lessing. She was totally unique and a visionary. Thank you for a great tribute site to a wonderful woman and extraordinary writer.
