My tribute to Carole Gill
Over the weekend, my fellow Creativia and ASMSG authors were shocked, and saddened, to hear of the unexpected death of Carole Gill’s husband, John. They had just left for a much anticipated vacation of relaxation in Spain. Thank goodness they had friends traveling with them to help her with this crisis. I can’t imagine dealing with the death of your loved one while in a foreign country.
The news hit me pretty hard, as it’s only been 21/2 year since I lost my Bob. I know what she’s going through, having your heart torn in half, realizing you are no longer a part of a whole. Other than losing a child, the death of your spouse is the hardest loss to overcome.
I met Carole while I was floundering around in the thick mire of self-publishing. Between Carole and Julie Northrup, they helped me find my way, and their words of encouragement have led me to where I am now. Without them, and Bob’s stories, I have no idea where I’d be now. Probably on a Funny Farm. So, thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart.
Carole indicated that she won’t be wiring anymore. I know right now she’s feeling this huge void that she has no idea how to fill, and the furthest thought from her mind is writing. It also doesn’t help that John was very supportive of her and her writing career. She’s a very talented writer, and I fervently hope that she finds her muse again. This post is my small way of showing my love and support for her through these dark days.
Listed below are links to her author interview and reviews of her books I’ve read. You can even wander over to Carole’s website to read free chapter excerpts. Please let her know how much you care by sharing my post or buying one of her books. Thank you.

I want to apologize to my followers for the overabundance of blog posts the last few days. I’m in the process of bringing all my old posts from Blogger to WordPress. I intended to bring them over slowly, but even our best laid plans go astray. Anyway, Carole, I’m so sorry for your loss and you have my deepest sympathy.

Carole Gill was also very supportive of me when I started to write last year. She introduced me to so many authors who have turned out to become good friends. My heart aches for her loss. I sincerely hope she finds the strength to write again as she was an amazing author.
Thank you for reblogging my post. I’m hoping she’ll get back to her writing, eventually, but I’m sure her perspective will be changed.

Thanks Sahara for this tribute to our fellow writer Carole Gill. I’ve shied away from reading her horror books (so scared of Clowns) but I hear nothing but good things about them from those who were braver than me.
I hope she recovers from this horrific sudden loss.
Thank you. Chris. I know several people who are scared of clowns. Yes, I hope she recovers too. It will just take time.
