A terrible loss. <br /><br />--JT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-81170087021825986362010-09-14T16:50:17.502-05:002010-09-14T16:50:17.502-05:00I live in Austin now, but I grew up in Houston.

I have so many fond memories of MBTB (Noir Night 2, Megan Abbott & Christa Faust, George Pelecanos & Scott<br />Phillips, Dennis Lehane, too many to recall). I had most recently driven over for the delightful Don Winslow. Every time I was treated like an old friend, even though most of our conversations were by phone or in passing at events like<br />Con Misterio. David turned me on to so many authors I had never read before. Words can't express the true loss to the mystery reading community. <br /><br />EdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-56325827320524540622010-09-14T15:42:36.968-05:002010-09-14T15:42:36.968-05:00This was as stunning to me as when Barry Gardner d...This was as stunning to me as when Barry Gardner died, except thqat David was so much younger.
