TributeTribute to Craig Hinton2010-01-16T08:29:54.312+11:00othercraig.jpgTRIBUTE TO CRAIG HINTONWhile I hesitate to call Craig a close friend (we hadn't done more then
debate continuity for over a year) I was very sad to learn of his death. For
me Craig wasAn Idol: He routinely did what I only dreamed of - wrote
Doctor Who novels. And he was friends with people like Andy
Lane, Justin Richards, and Gary Russell and if that isn't
sitting among the godsA Friend: He cheered me up when I was down and vice versa. He
mention my wife and me in the text and the acknowledgments of
"Synthespians[TM]." And for a few mad weeks we were both
planning on attending each others weddings!A Mentor: He proof read my early drafts of the
http://www.curufea.com/tardis/TARDIS
Technical Indexand told me that it should
be something better and nicer then just another page on my
rather sloppy website.An Advocate: He had several conversations with Justin Richards
of BBC Books about getting the TARDIS Technical Index
published.A Writing Partner: I test read and offered suggestions for
"Excelis Decays." The fact that he took many of these
suggestions to heart gave me some small chance to affect the
creation of licensed Dr. Who direction - something which will
always be a high point in my life.This page is the property of William B. Swift (B.S. Productions)
