Nancy Bell, R. I. P.

From Susan Rogers Cooper's Facebook page:  I'm sad to announce that Nancy Bell, creator of the Biggie series and the Judge Jackson Crain series, died last week. Her funeral was on Sunday. Nancy was a generous, funny, gregarious woman, the mother of five, grandmother of many, and great-grandmother to a lot more. Some of her titles included BIGGIE AND THE POISONED POLITICIAN and BIGGIE AND THE FRICASSEED FAT MAN, as well as RESTORED TO DEATH in the Jackson Crain series. I was proud to call her my friend and I, along with many in our writing community, as well as her family and her many friends in Pittsburg, Texas, will miss her deeply.
