RIP Brian Garfield

Author of Death Wish, Hopscotch, and a number of other good thrillers and Westerns, several of which became popular movies. He actually died last Saturday, so he's not part of the list of 2019 deaths. But it's still a bummer, because I liked his books.

Age 79.

This makes me truly sad. I met him at a writers conference many years ago, and he seemed to be a genuinely nice guy. Over the weekend, something reminded me of him and I googled his name to find out what he was doing these days. I found his web site and read every page.

Damn.
