I don't normally do one-shot news updates because of the eye-wateringly
large cost of e-mailing the whole SFcrowsnest subscriber base, but I'll
make an exception for David.
One of the great ones has gone and his death leaves the fantasy field
many worlds poorer.

David Eddings passes away
Fantasy author David Eddings has sadly passed away, aged 77, last night.
Best-selling and popular are often epithets that are applied to authors
on writers' press releases, but in David's case, it was well deserved.
His commercial success, says fantasy author Stephen Hunt, paved the way
for a whole generation of doorstopper-sized fantasy series.
