I only encoun­tered him per­son­ally once, on a panel the first time I attended a con (Dragon Con, 1988 or so?). I thought he was an arro­gant jerk. I’ve heard from oth­ers that he could be quite nice, so maybe it was some kind of schtick. I did enjoy all the Thieves World books, despite their unre­lent­ing darkness.

He was sched­uled to be at Mar­Con this week­end, so it seems his death was sud­den and unex­pected. I wish the best to his fam­ily and friends.

    He was arro­gant and boast­ful. Some­times right­fully so.

    But deep down was a kind heart. And a bit of mis­chievi­ous lit­tle boy.

    I’ll miss sit­ting with him, drink­ing, flirt­ing, and shar­ing stories.
