David Gemmell, one of my all time favourite fantasy authors has sadly passed away at the age of 57, he wrote 30 novels set in a wonderfully detailed world.
His stories were great tales of heroism but with a great eye for how war affects people, and although he dealt in heroism, he never shirked from showing the bloody side of war and how it affects people either.
If you don't know his works start with
Legend : the tale of an old warrior, Druss the Legend drawn back into war reluctantly.
And I think you will be drawn in to his world.
He will be sadly missed.

Why "The Real Teardrop" well that goes back to my first venture on to the internet. I was listening to a new album by Grant Lee Buffalo called Fuzzy and I needed a handle so I adopted the name Teardrop from the male character in the song Jupiter And Teardop. It was suitable annonymous in the chatrooms and it kind of stuck.

Ah, Legend - so popular that the SF imprint of his publisher actually changed the name of their SF imprint to Legend in honour of it. Not many authors in any genre can claim that.
