Exceptional

While he never reviewed any of my pieces, this is a good tribute you have written here. Hopefully all is well in your world these days. Been diagnosed with cancer. Supposed to have surgery on the 23rd.

Thanks for the review. I miss Bob's writing. Will pray for you. Have been depressed this way re COVID and life changes etc. Need to finish a poem I started and do more. Need to get back to your stuff as well.

Excellent

If I had six stars I would give them to you. This is a poignant and heartfelt tribute to a wonderful author, mentor, and friend. He was so easy to communicate with and quite patient. Your words mean a lot and I'm sure his family will appreciate reading them. Thank you for this lovely tribute.

Thanks for coming by. I hope Rama's suggestion of someone ghost-writing the rest of his latest novel, unfinished, happens. It is just that they will need to maintain his descriptive, definitive storytelling he was famous for.

No one could mirror his wonderful and unique ways of describing things. But I'm with you, with only four chapters to go, 'it's a crime' it won't be finished.
I haven't a clue who the murder could be.

Bob was always soooo descriptive and detailed about feelings and people and especially in the lovemaking with his (Cleve's)sweetheart

Thank you for your tribute to Bob, Geoff! I like how you emphasize that Bob is with the Lord now and how he encouraged your fiction writing. Thanks for remembering the other writers who are with the Lord now.

Thanks for your lovely review. Rama Devi was talking about somebody maybe ghostwriting the rest of his latest cleve he, unfortunately, did not finish. I said good as long as they preserve his style and detailed descriptions. I had not been able to get more of his books on Kindle but today I just got Fatal Beauty, Triple Crossed and Shadows Of Sin from Aussie Amazon! I am gonna update the picture so come back later. As I have said elsewhere too expensive for hard/soft covers AND the dreadful postage.

Bob had such an impact on so many people. Your words show how much you enjoyed his writing and the impact he has had on you. I am looking forward to reading his writings.

Thanks for coming by. I know you will enjoy them. Hopefully someone will pay for them to remain on the site. Falling Up The Stairs is about his own sad life as a Foster kid. I hope I can get more of his stuff on Kindle as here in Aus it works out too expensive for hard copy and the postage! Don't get me started!

Thanks Jan, I guess you saw the pictures I just added this morning? I wished I could get more of Bob's Struff for Kindle but oh well.

reply by Jannypan (Jan) on 28-Jul-2021

Yes, I saw the pics. 😊

You have an excellent tribute to Mastery. I like mysteries, so his Cleve series was just to my liking. I don't know what will happen to his unpublished novel. He may have written some chapters ahead. It's always good to try new things, and it was good he suggested you try fiction. You never know what you can do unless you try. judi

Thanks for the great review. I should have a go I guess at fiction. Go back and look again I just added his "Mug Shot" and "Falling Up Stairs" from my Kindle File. I thought I had more. Can't afford hard copy as I said and add postage to the costs!

Comment from Bill Schott

Excellent

This is a neat remembrance for Mastery. He did give a lot of valuable advice on character descriptions, settings, dialogue, and consistency. ..................

Yes a great storyteller and you agree on his descriptive way of writing.

I'm sure everyone who cared about Bob would be well pleased with this glowing praise you wrote about Bob. He tried to get me to write fiction as well, but it really isn't my thing. This is nicely written and I hope it will be encluded in the book being put together for his family.

Thanks Beth. I was glad to find the "Multi-author" option I have not been able to find for tributes to other fav authors who have passed on.

Comment from Janice Canerdy

Excellent

This is a lovely, deeply sincere tribute to Mastery. Your use of very specific details places your offering far above any "generic" sounding tribute. I know his family is moved by this.

Thanks janice. Bob was such a help over many years and I am sorry he never got to finish this last Cleve story. I will get some pictures on my tribute today, hopefully.

I certainly enjoyed Bob's mystery books. I will miss the name in my messages. It was one I looked for every day. Well done, Sankey. This was a nice tribute to a good friend. Nancy:)
