I worked for and with Byron Preiss from my early days until recently and who knows what the future would have held. During that time I did some of The Fun Things in my career: like the covers and illustrations for Harry Harrison's Bill, The Galactic Hero and its sequels, The Grand Adventure, by Phillip Jose Farmer, Katherine Kurtz's The Legacy of Lehr, and the 4 Young Adult Mysteries under the series name My Name Is Paris, all under the guiding hand of Byron Preiss. The world has lost an original.
