Sidney Sheldon
Sidney Sheldon passed away - and however cliched it might sound, but the fact is that an era of pulp fiction writing has come to an end. I am speechless, shocked and very sad. May his soul rest in forever peace. And may he continue to regale the audience to whichever place he has departed to.
Even though I was critical of his last few works, still Sheldon has left behind a huge bulk of excellent work. Rage of Angels, If Tomorrow Comes, Bloodline, The Other Side of Midnight and Memories of the Midnight are works that will be forever etched in my memories!
God bless his soul!

You too wrote a post about him? ( I had mentioned about it in my today’s post) But not surprised as I know that you would be writing a post. If I’m not wrong after JA, he is your fav writer.
You know what I’ve not read any of his work but my next pick up would be one of his book
.
My his soul rest in peace.

SS had his trademark thriller writing skills….within his paragraphs, he would get some italics which described the thoughts of the character, i liked those….and most of his novels was about getting rich, holding on to it….mostly had female protagonists….( I have not read all his stuff, but from what I have read)….
among thrill fiction mongers, SS and his style of writing rocked !

i too am a big Sheldon fan - a little less known fact about him is that he produced (and i think also scripted) the popukar fantasy series “i dream of Jeannie’ in the 60’s . i remember loving to watch reruns of it on Sony in its initial days.
about his books, i love them despite all cliches!
God bless his soul…

)
