Fleedleflump: It is with absolute heartbreak that I am writing this on my husband's behalf.
Michael passed away, very suddenly, on Tuesday the 15th November of a pulmonary embolism.
His writing and this community was so important to him, so I'd like to thank you all for providing such joy in his life.
