In an email from Arc/Manor Phoenix Press today, I quote, in part:

There is a go-fund me campaign which has been set up to help him pay for some of the costs which have been extremely high. Every little bit makes a difference and for those of you in a position to help the link is:

I've also just donated. I've enjoyed his writing and this seems to be a chance to says thanks. Hopefully, his recovery will continue to go well.

That's sad. I loved his westerns in space stories (Widowmaker, Oracle, Far far future) and his occult detective stories. I wasn't as fond of his Africa in space stores, but those were the ones that won the awards. I keep hearing rumors that Santiago and the Widowmaker were being looked at for movies.

I feel bad not knowing the author's name. I looked at the GoFundMe and was touched by the daughter's update, but also reading how much he meant to fans and people in the comments. Beautiful sentiments.

I did not realize he was sick and am very sad to hear of his passing. I read many of his books over the years and enjoyed most of them.

I had the pleasure of meeting Resnick back in 1990 at the BYU science fiction symposium....at the time I hadn't heard of him but figured I'd grab a couple of books to have him sign. I read Santiago soon after and loved it. He was a nice guy, especially considering I wasn't a fan (yet).

Sad news, indeed.

I've reluctantly updated the thread title.

The Wiki link below lists his many accomplishments:
