I remember going to a book signing for an author that I admire so much. My brother, Peter, and I were the last in line to have our book signed. There he was--a genius of a man, with a really cool white beard and twinkling eyes that spoke so much. We heard him speak earlier, and we have never had such a good time. We got a glimpse into the mind of the creator of our favorite books. I remember perfectly--he signed our books, and then he asked Mom to photograph us three--him, Peter, and I--all holding hands.
That man was Brian Jacques, and he died on February 5th of a heart attack.
Here is his website: Brian Jacques: The Official Website

OH MY GOSH! I didn't know he died! That's so sad :( I haven't read his books by I know he's a great author. Considering many of my friends adore his writing. May he Rest In Peace.

I love Brian Jacques books. I can't believe he is dead. That's so sad.
I did hear of this sad news the other day and it was sad indeed. His Redwall books were some of my favorites :)
