I cant find a good detailed article yet, but this is sad news, he was one of my favorite authors...

The one I saw this afternoon was http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/books/1 ... index.html that has some details.

He will be missed!

He is a good author, I used to love his stuff when I was younger.

Wow, I didn't even know he was sick. But the article does say it was a "private" thing. His books are actually what got me reading. I wasn't really much of a reader until I started reading his books.
