t. Winter Damon:RIP

In Announcements, GSpot, Links, Podcast, books on August 18, 2009 at 9:48 pm

Wow. Wrote to t. Winter Damon to see if he was close to publishing the new work he had told me about…how long ago? Wow, like a year. It’s been a busy year for sure, but I really need to slow down and smell the roses. His work email bounced, so I figured he’d been laid off, seems to be happening a lot…so I wrote his publisher and asked him to have Tim call me. I was surprised to receive an email back that he had died. This is happening far too much lately. Anyway, here’s an old GPod radio we did several years ago. I’ll miss ya man, we had some great conversations. Show : Part 1 | Part 2 (may 15 2005)

t. Winter-Damon: Author of Duet for the Devil and The Forbidden Gospels of Man Cruel talks about the Zodiac Killer and Hannibal Lecter as a food critic.
