I...Thanks for the kind words about the blog Ed. I've been trying to more consistently post again (once a week or so). <br /><br />Jack Bickham's work, especially his Brad Smith novels, have an ethical sentiment missing in much of fiction, and unfortunately society. Smith lives in a crooked world, but his morality, self described in the books as old fashioned, is the driving force of actions as a character. I've always thought the ethical plays in the novels likely matched Jack Bickham's own ethical viewpoints, which says a bunch about the kind of person he was.

Jack...I have to keep up with your blog. I love it. <br />Jack was not only a fine writer in many genres he was one of the most decent people I've ever had the pleasure to know. He fought cancer for a long time<br />but it didm't deter him from writing his best books in the final years of his life. He was also a revered and beloved teacher of fiction writing.
