When I hear of one of my favorite authors dying, I do indeed feel a bit of myself has passed on. So true.

Thanks for letting me know about the Elmo...Katrina,<br />Thanks for letting me know about the Elmore Leonard link. I will fix it up, then I'll look up Iain Banks straightaway. <br />Actually, the phenomenon of top bestselling writers dying got us to talking last night. I've learned over many years, and it seems the medical world has finally managed to figure out that excessive stress is detrimental to health. And this knowledge got me thinking about the stress that writers who are always at the top of the bestseller lists experience, some of them churning out a book every 10 months or so. The pressure!! The publisher breathing down one's neck every minute. The constant touring and interviews. And, as a result, the time NOT spent exercising, eating healthy foods, relaxing, and looking out the window! All of that would put me six feet under.<br />Judith<br /><br />Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-78607857920560893102013-11-09T16:00:38.684-05:002013-11-09T16:00:38.684-05:00The links work for me, except that the Elmore Leon...The links work for me, except that the Elmore Leonard one is also taking me to poor Vince Flynn instead of Elmore. We're still mourning Iain Banks here. It annoys me when politicians keep saying we are all living so much longer - if only it were so!Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138715309807238198noreply@blogger.com
