One...What a marvelous commentary on David Morrell! One thing you didn't mention, however, is David's enormous generosity with younger writers...for many long years, he's taken the time out of his busy schedule to mentor writers: reading manuscripts, recommending writers to agents and/or publishers, giving blurbs and other endorsements...that's in addition to his "hallway mentoring" at every conference he attends, when he takes the time to answer each and every question thrown at him from aspiring and upcoming writers.<BR/><BR/>And if you're fortunate enough to call David Morrell a friend, you'll know then his enormous generosity and fanatical loyalty to those he calls friend. Besides being a huge luminary as a writer, David is one of the most impressive human beings it's been my pleasure to know in 50 years of life; his kindness, humanity, creativity, generosity and huge spirit would stand him out in any endeavor. We thriller writers are fortunate to have him.<BR/><BR/>And I'm proud to call him my friend.<BR/><BR/>cheers, Marcus WynneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-1163952787674433292006-11-19T08:13:00.000-08:002006-11-19T08:13:00.000-08:00Oops.
