This is a hard one... Author, attorney, and hero to me, Mark Pryor passed away a few weeks ago. My heart goes out to his wife sarah and their three kids. Mark was best known for his mystery novels featuring Hugo Marston, a former FBI agent from Texas, and now head of security at the U.S. Embassy in Paris. He was a defense attorney for the last few years, but I know him from when he was the lead prosecutor on my mother's murder trial when he worked for the Travis County District attorney's office and they put away the guy that killed my mom. Mark will always be a real hero to me. I'll miss his sense of humor and kindness. Rest in peace, Mark. You'll be missed.
