Boy, this is sad news. Robert J. Randisi (Bob) passed away. I don't have a lot of details yet, but I'll post when I have them. Right now, I'm reeling from the news. Bob could be tough and brash like his characters, but he was also positive and supportive of other writers and the mystery community.
Bob was born August 24, 1951. He wrote over 650 books in the Mystery, Western, Adventure, and Fantasy genres, as well as being an Editor and Screenwriter. Bob founded The Private Eye Writers of America in 1981, where he created the Shamus Award. He also co-founded The American Crime Writers League; co-founded Western Fictioneers, and co-created the Peacemaker Award.

Rest in Peace, Bob!
