Uh,no Brad, it might take more than an announcement. I just announced that I'll be dancing "Swan Lake", I'm awaiting a tutu fitting and a call from the Kirov Ballet.
And Brad,I'll be throwing all of your books and CDs into the trash today.
Better choice: dump them onto the used market. You might stop someone from buying a new book, depriving him of royalties.
But, I'm disappointed as well. I've read most of Thor's books, but no more.
Got rid of my copies too and will never buy another if he would be the last author alive.
