David Gemmell

[desperance]

David Gemmell died today. He'd had a quadruple heart bypass last week; he was back at home and back at work, and died early this morning at the keyboard.

This is not the time and not the forum for an obituary, nor for an analysis of his work and its impact on other writers in particular and the fantasy genre in general, but I did want to register both the shock and the sadness of this sudden loss.

Just to let you know I have invited you to join the in_bad_dreams community...

Thanks for this. The bad news is that the other time someone invited me to join a community, the invitation never arrived (twice); dunno what goes wrong, but something clearly does.

I'll drift by the community page, and join from there.

I found this out when I'd invited 31 people to the group and not one had replied... lol.

Glad you'll be popping along!
