Andrew Britton

This morning as I was creating my first blog entry, I thought about novelist Andrew Britton. His web site is www.andrewbritton.com. You can watch his interview with DG Martin on UNC-TV/PBS Bookwatch. They discuss Andrew's first novel, The American, which is a wonderful first novel. If you like Tom Clancy, you will like The American.

I attended Andrew's book signing three weeks ago at Tir Na Nog pub, in Raleigh, NC, for his third novel. I returned today to say Happy Easter to his mum, the pub general manager. It's with sadness and a heavy heart I post my intended entry for Andrew, to share that he died earlier this week, unexpectedly.

You live on in your three novels and in many hearts, Andrew. RIP.
