Will Be Missing Brian Jacques

Sadly, this past weekend brought with it the passing of one of my all-time favorite authors. Not only was Brian Jacques the amazing author of the Redwall series, which I ate up as a fourth-grade student, but he was also the inspiration and spark that contributed to a pursuit of literature and the arts and eventually my profession in publishing.

I owe this man a debt of gratitude and a bon voyage. May you have many grand journeys ahead, you creator of worlds.

    Sorry to say I haven't heard of him. Sounds like I've missed out. I'll have to check out one of his books.

    Start with Redwall and it all goes up from there.

    I saw the pbs cartoon about Redwall. He always talked at the end about the world he created or abut creating a world of your own.

    He seemed neat, but that could have been his groovy accent.
