Requiescat In Pace, Dick Francis

By MacAllister Stone, on February 14th, 2010

Mystery novelist Dick Francis

I’m very sad to announce that British mystery writer Dick Francis, 89, has died.

Slush

By MacAllister Stone, on January 20th, 2010

A rather silly and  inaccurate article from WSJ proclaiming The Death of the Slush Pile.

Novelist Robert B. Parker

By MacAllister Stone, on January 19th, 2010

Writer Robert B. Parker died this morning at his desk, apparently of a heart attack. He was 77.
