  Jo Clayton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jo Clayton (February 15, 1939–February 13, 1998) was an American fantasy and science fiction author.
She was born in Modesto, California, and she was raised in the area along with two sisters by her farmsteading parents.
Their parents arranged for all three children to attend college, and Jo graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Southern California in 1963.

 Jo Clayton
Clayton attended the University of California, Berkeley, and graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Southern California, with a degree in English.
Clayton was disabled by her illness in the summer of 1996, and at the time was saved from immediate death because of the science fiction community on Genie, a nationwide computer bulletin board.
Jo Clayton is survived by her mother, Bessie Clayton and sister, Penn Brumm, both of the San Jose, California area, and a second sister, Pamela Larsen, of Mira Loma, California.

 Adam Clayton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adam was born the eldest child of Brian, an RAF pilot, and Jo Clayton in Oxfordshire, England on 13th March 1960.
While Adam Clayton will probably never be confused with Cream's Jack Bruce or The Who's John Entwistle, Clayton's often uncomplicated bass playing serves as a solid foundation for U2's songs.
Clayton switches between finger-style and pick-style with ease, and occasionally throws in some funk-style slapping and popping.

Science fiction and fantasy author Jo Clayton is being hospitalized in Portland, OR, after having been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a very aggressive cancer of the immune system plasma cells (similar to leukemia or lymphoma).

Jo has been long known to her friends as a fighter, and this remains the case.

 Jo Clayton's History
Jo once said of living in Portland: "Currently living in Portland, Oregon, watching the rain fall and the wind blow and writing to support myself and two cats in something resembling reasonable comfort." Jo's companions during her years in Portland were two cats: Owl and Tigerlily, and all of her friends on Genie.
Mary checked on Jo, and, with the assistance of Jim Fiscus and others, helped Jo get into the hospital when it became clear that she was seriously ill. After Jo was hospitalized, Christy Marx, a longtime friend, offered to take Owl and Tigerlily in and make them part of her Moggy Horde.
Jo referred to her fall as "my fortunate fall" because she discovered how many people loved and cared about her, and in some ways the last 19 months of her life were among the best.

 [No title]
Clayton is inconsistent with Aleytys; she is mature, intelligent, and sophisticated when dealing with the natives of Lamarchos, but naive and annoyingly dim-witted when dealing with her off-world companions.
Clayton appears to have grown bored with Aleytys at this point; she spends much of the book on secondary characters, switching viewpoints all over the place.
Clayton has dropped the druidic overtones of the earlier books and spends more than half the book on minor characters, most of whom we are glad to see die.

 SPACELIGHT: CLAYTON, Patricia Jo - personal data   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
For a while Jo thought her life was of use to the Catholic Church and she became a novice nun and school teacher, moving to New Orleans.
But, in fact, her thinking was very ordered and she not only conceived novels in trilogy form, but actually conceived trilogies of trilogies...a feat that would cause many writers to cringe.
Before her death and during her illness of nearly two years with cancer, Jo completed a second novel of the Drum trilogy and wrote half of a third.

 Raymond's Reviews #00048 (Fri Apr 27 18:14:25 EDT 1990)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The first thing you'll notice about this book is that Jo Clayton's prose crackles like bright neon.
What makes all this work is Clayton's authorial voice -- sensual, startling, allusive, playful, slangy, and vivid as hell (in some ways reminiscent of Alfred Bester or Tom Robbins).
It makes me want to go out and read the Diadem books, which I wrote off back when they were first published largely because of the cheesy DAW covers and the impression that they were just another silly random space opera.

 In Memoriam, Jo Clayton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Besides being a wonderful lady and a wonderful author, not to mention a person who I wish I'd had a chance to know better, Jo was also someone who always thought of her friends, even at the very end.
Jo left about two hundred pages of manuscript, as well as extensive notes, and I am glad to report that I have finished the novel
