I was devastated to here of Don's passing. We first met when I worked at Coles' Bookstore. When he found out I wrote science fiction novels he pestered me until I let him read my first one.
When Don came back having finished my book he told me that he stayed up late into the night reading it and that he didn't do that with many books. This was the highest compliment I could have gotten from anyone and Don became a dear friend to me ever since that moment.
When I learned to bind books and finished writing my current one, I would bind one for Don, go to his house and give it to him to read.
Don is my first fan and my first book is dedicated to him because of that.
I will miss him dearly and remember him always.
