William G. Tapply, R. I. P.

William G. Tapply Online

I just read about Tapply's death on Sara Weinman's blog. Very sorry to hear it. I've never met Tapply, but I've enjoyed more than a few of his novels.

Whoa... I'm really shocked by this. Like a number of series I've fallen behind in Tapply's Brady Coyne.

After my first short story was published, Bill contacted me to have lunch with me, and talk about writing with me. Later I also talked with him about some questions I had concerning my writing of Small Crimes. A very generous and decent man.

Bill Tapply was a gent and inspired many students through his teaching at Clark University and elsewhere. You could always count on his books (and the series he did with the late Philip R. Craig) to be thoroughly engaging reads.
