Best-selling author Vince Flynn dies at 47





Quote
Best-selling author Vince Flynn, who wrote the Mitch Rapp counterterrorism thriller series and sold more than 15 million books in the U.S. alone, died Wednesday in Minnesota after a more than two-year battle with prostate cancer, according to friends and his publisher. He was 47.

Flynn was supporting himself by bartending when he self-published his first novel, "Term Limits," in 1997 after getting more than 60 rejection letters. After it became a local best-seller, Pocket Books, a Simon & Schuster imprint, signed him to a two-book deal -- and "Term Limits" became a New York Times best-seller in paperback.

Wow, I missed this and fully agree.

He could really weave a plot and make it dance.

RIP, Vince. You were one talented mofo. :cheersmate:

Rush spoke very fondly of him the other morning when his death was first announced.  I became a fan of his when I read Term Limits.
