That is heartbreaking...he had a lot more books in him. It shakes your world when something like this happens.
Lots going on in your world up there. Hope you all voted. best, Allison
Thanks, Alison. Heartbreaking is exactly the word.
Yup, I voted.
This was so sad, and so surprising. But according to the reports, he was discovered at his desk, writing. I think that's how I'd like to go.
He was a gracious man and didn't take himself too seriously, but turned out book after book that were deceptively simple.
We should all be so lucky to write as well and to die doing what we do best.
Wrote dialogue others authors would die for.
