With a heavy heart i write that my dear husband, the love of my life passed December 4th. I was blessed with 47 years with the love of my life and he kept his promise that my life would be interesting. He was my biggest fan and loved to tell folks that he was the author's husband. He made me promise in his last days that I would continue writing and I will. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer the beginning of October and for the most part he was comfortable and pain free thanks to the amazing care of Seasons hospice and his primary. Merciful it was a short illness for a very aggressive cancer. I will be writing and Murder in the Rockies will be out next year with a new character - Ted - my husband's nickname. He will be a ghost and Irma's new pal. His spirit in many ways will live on. Rita
