I got a phone call this morning informing me that Perry Moore had passed away. I didn't believe it of course, so I did what anyone would do, I googled it. It was true. This is truly sad news. He was a great talent and will be missed dearly.

I remember our conversation about the novel and how influencial it was, I was in as much shock or more, I found out on the train while glancing at a commuters' NY POST
The shock actually made me gasp and I had to repress tears, I regret never informing him on how much his book meant to me,.. and I have the outmost empathy for his partner and family, it's crazy how in a split second a life can vanish off of the face of the earth

I know what you mean. I was starting my day as usually when a friend phoned with the bad news. It took my breath away and my mind just went fuzzy. I felt similar when my childhood idol (and present day idol) Michael Turner passed away. It's still hard to believe it's true.

I can't believe I didn't see this earlier. I'm so upset right now that I don't know whether to cry or punch something. He was always so kind and encouraging the few times we spoke over email. It isn't right that he's gone.

I feel the same way... it still doesn't feel real... I wish I could have gotten to know him better.

My face fell when I read this. He was one of my favourite authors and I found so much solace in Hero over the summer.
He'll defiantly be missed.

He was my favorite author and my role model... I emailed him asking for advice, and he responded multiple times with some great advice for me... He was truly an amazing person, a fantastic author, and great producer. He will be missed. :(
