Kinda strange 2 find out about a potenially great author through his obituary. But here is a guy who won the World Fantasy Award (as did Stephen R. Donaldson) in 1988 for Replay, which according to David Brin (one of my fav Sci-Fi authors) is a very intrigueing study in time travel. He lived in California and his books are very popular in Japan.

1976-Breakthrough: Time travel
1977-Elise: A study in immortality and eternal youth
1982-The Voice Outside: Telepathy
1987-Replay
1999-Into the Deep: Telepathy between children and Dolphins

I for one am stoked 2 try 1 of his books! Any1 else heard of Grimwood? And now Danlo looked in that direction, too. He remembered that snowy owls mate in the darkest part of deep winter, and so along with this beautiful white bird perched in a tree a hundred feet away, he turned to face the sea as he watched and waited.

Ahira, Ahira, he called out silently to the sky. Ahira, Ahira<i>Edited by: danlo60 at: 6/21/03 7:30 am

Yes, I read Replay about 10 years ago, loaned it to a friend (stupid, stupid, stupid) and then tried to find it again later without remembering authors name or name of title.

I tried finding it by posting about the general plot of the story on a web site but no one bit.

Ended up finding it, by mistake, while looking for another book, I have found 3 copies since and bought and given away each of them, and loved this book so much I found a 1st Edition hard cover copy for my collection.

Great book, would highly recomend.

I had no idea he had died! <i></i>

That's good 2 know! Welcome 2 the Hangar! Stick around! And now Danlo looked in that direction, too. He remembered that snowy owls mate in the darkest part of deep winter, and so along with this beautiful white bird perched in a tree a hundred feet away, he turned to face the sea as he watched and waited.
