New York Times Bestselling Author, Eric Jerome Dickey has died.

According to social media reports from friends and family, Dickey passed away after a battle with cancer. He was only 59-years-old. Dickey was one of my favorite fiction writers. My favorite books he authored was, “Sister, Sister” and ” Friends and Lovers.” Please keep his family in friends in your prayers.

I remember devouring his novels. Some of the first novels that caught my attention because I saw characters who looked like me. He was an awesome writer. These were some of the first ones I read!

Wow! RIP Eric Jerome Dickey! ❤️❤️ #ericjeromedickey #blackauthors #author pic.twitter.com/Kbs2dm9j98

I’m so devastated here in Chicago until I can’t even think straight. EJD and used to be email Pin Pals, discussing current events, and the latest and hottest Novel to read. I have purchased and read each and every one of his Novels. One of my top favorite one was “Genevieve”.
