We usually only post good news about our clients – sales, awards, bestsellers, etc. – but this is the saddest news we have ever received, and we felt obliged to share it.

Ida Hatke, the youngest daughter of ZITA THE SPACEGIRL and MIGHTY JACK author Ben Hatke, was killed in a tragic accident last month.

Because the Hatkes live in America, the  cost of Ida’s care was astronomical, so friends of the family have started a fund to help them pay the medical and funeral expenses.

If you wish to contribute, here’s the address for the Ida Hatke fund.

And if you wish to send a note of condolence, please address it to the agency, and we will forward to Ben and his family.

Words are inadequate to express our sorrow.
