Taking a NaNo-second here to salute the passing of three authors in the past week:
Tony Hillerman on Oct. 26, Studs Terkel on Oct. 31 and Michael Crichton who passed today. All prolific, talented authors.
Now back to writing.

I must admit that I'm not familiar with the first two, but I was a big fan of Michael Crichton. He will be sorely missed.

Studs is old school but pulitzer prize winner if I remember correctly. Tony's books go out every day at the library still and several of his were made into movies. About a native detective I believe.

They are all great losses. :(

Indeed. Some of the quotes from Studs were just rich! Besides with a name like that, he had to be a character.
