@papy or @Pepper_Thine_Angus can you create or move this to have an appropriate category, thanks. I would have posted in the booksellers news, but I’m sure others here have enjoyed his writing over the years, so didn’t wish it to be private.
You’re right, this should not be buried in the bookseller group.
Thank you for posting.
He wrote slowly — pen, longhand, notepads — and agonized over each sentence, sometimes spending an hour on a single line. He rarely set his story out ahead of time, preferring to let his instincts and imagination carry him forward over a roadbed of well-turned words.
He was a lyricist.
