6. Author Sidney Sheldon dies at 89

LOS ANGELES - Sidney Sheldon, who won awards in three careers — Broadway theater, movies and television — then at age 50 turned to writing best-selling novels about stalwart women who triumph in a hostile world of ruthless men, has died. He was 89.

Sheldon died Tuesday afternoon of complications from pneumonia at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, said Warren Cowan, his publicist of more than 25 years. His wife, Alexandra, was by his side.

"I've lost a longtime and dear friend," Cowan said. "In all my years in this business, I've never heard an unkind word said about him."

Sheldon's books, with titles such as "Rage of Angels," "The Other Side of Midnight," "Master of the Game" and "If Tomorrow Comes," provided his greatest fame. They were cleverly plotted, with a high degree of suspense and sensuality and a device to keep the reader turning pages.

7. RIP, Sid --- on the other side of midnight... (okay SOMEBODY had to say it)

Actually, that was a LONG time ago, and I did like that novel.
I was young and silly and loved lounging on the beach in So. Cal, w/o sunscreen probably, reading a book. Who knew?

He sold good books, he lived a long live, and I am a struggling writer who salutes him!
Bravo, Mr. Sheldon.
