    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    I read a few of his but was very impressed with, April Fools Day. The novel about his late son with haemophilia.
    Very sad and must have been hard for him to write about.

    R.I.P. Some great books for sure, Tomo and hawk, is one of my favorites. What a great storyteller, gonna miss his books.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.
