I'm so sad!! I wondered when I didn't see him posting anymore. I knew his health wasn't good. Very sad. He was scary but also a lot of fun. Now he is with the Lord, happy and whole.

A wonderful poem and presentation, Robyn -- moving and emotional in both. I shall endeavor to add when things find their routine 'round here... Thanx for sharing and for your wonderful organizational skills! ;) Yvette

Oh, no. Please don't praise or thank me. If I didn't do it, I'm sure someone else would have. I've just done it in the past, so I'm sure folks looked to me to do it again. But thank you for the kind words. Hugs--

This is a touching free verse written with sincerity. It is a sad time for the family and friends of a man who has impacted so many lives through his counsel and through his creative writings.

Ain't it the truth? Thanks, friend.

Indeed, he's gone, and I am still finding it hard to believe. "When even Stephen King remarked, this cat knows how to write Dark Art..." says so much about Dean, Robyn.

One nit, and it's for presentation -- did you mean to choose such a tiny font for the text?

Yeah, the tiny font represents my shock and awe. It's how I felt when I heard. I wanted it represented. It may not work, but that's what I wanted. Hugs-

Oh, it works -- that was my immediate response to it -- that you were shocked (amazingly). I only worried you might lose some reviewers whose vision might not be the best.

The starkness of your entry tells the story. Gone are the possibilities of colourful images, of flowery words, of frivolity.... this man will be much missed. It is a sad time of loss. Dean's contribution was huge - he touched many.

So true. So stinking true. He did so much behind the scenes, as well. Thank you!

No one could write better horror than him. I didn't read his all the time, not really my thing, but even I was sucked in from time to time. He was just that good. He will be missed for sure. Great job

Thank you for sharing this tribute to Dean. He will be greatly missed. I can't imagine FS without him. I am sure he was a challenge for Stephen King. Again, thank you.
