A message for John Sanford, Lee Child, and Nelson DeMille

Posted on June 20, 2013 | 1 comment

Book lovers who read political thriller novels lost one of the best yesterday with the passing of Vince Flynn. As a fan, I am unsure of how close he was to finishing his latest novel, The Survivor.

I am publicly asking John Sanford, Lee Child, and Nelson DeMille to team up and finish this book for Vince and for his fans. Maybe the proceeds to the book could go to prostate cancer research.

Now that Vince is gone, we know what has to happen. Mitch Rapp needs to die. And there is no one more suited to write how it happens than you three.

With my friends, I always felt a little out of place. I like sports and stuff, but I never quite. … [trails off] Everybody I knew liked to go swimming and fishing and hunting and to football games. I didn’t fit that. I never remember feeling truly comfortable with any of my friends. There was stuff I wanted to tell them that they would laugh at when I tried to explain it. They’d say, ‘Guys don’t talk that way.’ And I was afraid of girls, which is another thing guys aren’t supposed to talk about. So I wrote songs instead.

I am so super bummed today after learning that my favorite author, Vince Flynn, has died. Flynn died Wednesday morning at United Hospital in St. Paul. He had been battling prostate cancer.

Flynn has authored 15 novels, and I have read them all.

If you have not read any of his books, check them out here.

If you would like to donate to prostate cancer research, visit PCF here.

A 4-year-old becomes mayor or Minnesota town

Mayor Robert “Bobbie” Tufts is calling the shots in Dorset, Minn., a small community near Park Rapids.

The four-year-old might not have the academic credentials for the job (he hasn’t passed kindergarten). But residents say he’s got the chops–and the mouth–to run the town.

First agenda item? Importing more juice boxes.
