I just learned the extremely sad news of Bob's passing. I have a very hard time expressing the grief I feel. Bob was a wonderful friend. He was also my editor, but I don't think that editor is an appropriate description of what he did for me. Yes he corrected my mistakes, but more importantly he pushed me as a writer, he made me better, he helped me grow. He also brought me into his world by allowing me the honor of using his wonderful character of Jen Stevens in my stories. I know how protective he was with her.
