David Thompson, R. I. P.
I've just heard that David Thompson of Murder by the Book in Houston died yesterday. I've known David for years, ever since he first started to work part-time at the store. He's been a great friend to me and to everyone in the mystery community. I'm still in shock. I don't have any more details, but my heart goes out to McKenna, to everyone at the store, and to all David's many friends.

Another loss. I'm sorry to hear this as well. I'm still getting over Tubb's death.
