Obituary: Noted mystery writer Sue Grafton, 77, has died after a two-year battle with cancer.
She was famous for her "alphabet" series of mystery novels. She almost made it through the entire alphabet, but the series will end at "y." She had published her last novel in August. The book was Y is for Yesterday.
Grafton, according to the article, decreed no movie or book would ever be done of her novels, and that no ghost writer would ever complete the series.
She hadn't started on the "z" novel yet.
Grafton began writing at 18, and wrote her first novel at 22. "A is for Alibi" was the eighth novel she wrote, and the third she had published._____
On her blog, she said her ideas come from everywhere.
"I read newspapers, textbooks on crime. I talk to private investigators, police officers, jail administrators, doctors, lawyers, career criminals. Ideas are everywhere," she said.
The "greatest generation" wasn't so great, especially when it voted so much for the Reagan crapola.
