Gary Kim Hayes, a wonderful fixture of the writing track at Dragon*Con, passed away recently at the age of 61. I didn’t know him well, but thanks to my friend Nancy Knight, I was on a few panels with him at Dragon*Con and of course got to see him in many more panels. Most notably, he moderated the fun and popular “How to Write a Story in an Hour” panels.
We talked a few times. I was just starting to get to know him. I was looking forward to seeing him at the next Dragon*Con.
And now he’s gone.
He’ll be missed.
