So it's been reported, and confirmed, on the Horror Writer's Association's Facebook page that author, horror guru, and the HWA's current president, Rocky Wood, has passed away earlier today due to complications from ALS.

I personally had some issues and debates with him on their page, and I currently have no intentions of ever joining the HWA due to some of their stances, but he earned a great deal of my respect by being a man in such a position and yet willing to come down and post on their Facebook page and converse with the members so openly. Very rarely do you see that by the people in charge of such a large and influential organization.

May he rest in peace.

I hadn't heard. That's sad. I don't know what your problems are with the HWA, but I think it's one of the top organizations out there, and a blessing to every horror writer.
