From Julian Deahl

Shona published one of her books with me: we had a working relation for several years (the book took a long time to get written). We had both begun as grad students in medieval philosophy, so we had that in common. Shona was smart, funny, charming, understated, very likeable. Last time we talked she seemed to be in the middle of life and enjoying it too. At the end of March her friend Roisin Cossar was telling me of her doings in Rome. This news is incredibly sad and very hard to take in: my deep condolences go to her family and friends.
