Hi Ed ---
Not sure if you got the news or not, but I've heard that Bill Tapply, author of the Brady Coyne mysteries and a host of other books, died last night of cancer.
Damn.
He was active in the New England chapter of MWA, for a while we shared agents, and he was overall just the best... and he will be missed.
Well, thought you'd like to know.
And I visit your site at least twice a day; it's one of my favorites...
You take care.
All best, Brendan DuBois
