Without him, I never would have written my novel, The Weight of Chains. ![]() By the time I met him, he was my favorite author! I never expected that he’d also become my friend and writing mentor. Then I had to have another and another and another. I picked one at random to read after hearing about him on Brian Keene’s blog. Gonzalez in 2007, I had already bought and read several of his books. A Herculean effort, because Gonzalez cast a wider shadow than many might realize. His was a legacy worth preserving, and Gonzalez’s dear friend, fellow author Brian Keene, would be charged with that stewardship, for Jesus’ family, his fans, and future generations of readers. The broader loss to the horror genre and literary world was the equivalent of deleting a storehouse of knowledge and all the future storytelling potential that came with it. The loss to his friends, family, and readers was immense. Gonzalez, Jesus to those close to him, died from cancer on November 10, 2014. ![]()
