Poetic Obituaries: Tom [Deitz] was an artist, a poet,

a writer, one of the best Heralds that the SCA has ever known, and a good friend. His first novel was mentored by Katherine Kurtz when he was asked to illustrate a book project of hers. Sadly, the project fell through, but she encouraged him to develop his own stories that they'd discussed while working on her project. Now, 19 novels later, Tom has long ago proven himself as a writer.
