Strange, I was just going over some of Tom Deitz book covers at Fantastic Fiction yesterday. Was he related to William C. Deitz?
William spells his last name Dietz, so I don’t think there is a relationship. Also one was from the south, the other from the Pacific Northwest.
I’m so sorry to hear that. I was, and still am, a huge fan of the Soulsmith trilogy.
He was too young for his health issues. A rare gifted writer.
