That is so spot on. Ever since I found out the great L. A. Meyer died, I've been trying to explain to my husband why I'm so sad about it, even though I never met the man.

It's a whole different level of connecting and understanding (and one of the reasons that makes books so, so amazing). It's cool that they can reach across space and time and completely just connect with you.

Two years ago the first author that I ever said was my favorite passed away.
