Jory Sherman, R. I. P.
Jory Sherman's son posted on Facebook today that Jory has passed away. He'd been ill for a long time, so while this isn't unexpected news, it's still very sad. He was a fine writer and a fine person. I was lucky enough to have met him a couple of times and to have read several of his hundreds of books. He'll be greatly missed.
