Sad news in the writing world

Sad news for the writing world, in the past month two prolific writers died. Michael Crichton and Tony Hillerman. Michael Crichton, author and movie director lost his fight against cancer, and died on November 4th. Tony Hillerman, author, journalist, teacher and World War II hero, died October 26th of pulmmonary disorder. I have enjoyed reading both of these authors, and their passing saddens me.
