Today may be Trivial Thursday, but there's nothing trivial about today's blog entry.
I want to call your attention to Bill Crider's Popular Culture Magazine. On Wednesday, Bill had a short blog entry called Mystery File about author Gil Brewer with a link to take you to the full article about Gil Brewer.
By all means read the full article. I suspect the tragic end to a talented writer's life can be told of too many equally talented writers. It also reads as a cautionary tale for writers: save it while you're making it, watch for changes in readers' taste, and avoid abusing alcohol and drugs.
Brewer's life story is as noir as any of his novels. Sad, but true.
