Parker<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;FYI: Robert B. Parker, one of my top 5 all time favorite authors passed away suddenly while sitting at his desk in Cambridge, Mass on Jan. 18th. He was 77 yrs old and it was reported this A.M. that the cause of death was heart attack.<\/p>\n<p>While not \u201ccozy\u201d, Mr. Parker wrote over 50 books mostly in the Jesse Stone (tv shows starred Tom Selleck) and Spenser private detective very long series which were the basis for the 1980\u2019s tv series, Spenser for Hire. A less known fact is that a smaller book series \u201cSunny Randall\u201d was created for actress Helen Hunt(at her request) to star in but the shows never materialized but Parker continued to write the book series.<\/p>\n<p>The latest Spenser novel was just released, The Professional, top 10 on the NY Times list now. I just today finished this book and wow, it was as good as any of the others that I have enjoyed.<\/p>\n<p>His last Jesse Stone novel will be released 2\/23\/10, Split Image. He completed this but alas never got to see it published.<\/p>\n<p>If you go to his website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robertbparker.net\">www.robertbparker.net<\/a> you can find so much info and good interviews but an added little treasure is in the \u201cpress room\u201d button where you can listen to \u201cMoon River\u201d as sung by Robert B. Parker and his son Dan Parker.<\/p>\n<p>Danna, if you could post news on Mr. Parker\u2019s death, I am sure others would like to know and comment. Thank you, Sandra&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I know that he will be missed by many!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sandra wrote to me with this very sad news about Robert B.
