Dick Francis
 

Died yesterday.

I've read a LOT of his novels, sort of a guilty pleasure.
Reminds me a little of Clive Cussler only with plot lines focused around British horse racing instead of NUMA - totally easy reads, utterly predictable.

(In fact, I have Field of 13 on my bedside table right now)

One of those people that seemed to do a lot with what he was given.

Godspeed.

He helped me out on a few plane rides. RIP Dick Francis.

I remember when his books were not available in the US.

I found my first ones while on vacation in Mexico. They WERE in English.

Great stories.

I liked his books, Dick Francis and the guy who invented the frisbee die in the same week.
