I’ve seen people talk about actors and artists that had a terrible time.

My own would be Anne Rice. She wrote Interview with the Vampire after her young daughter died of Leukemia. Then her husband suddenly died of a brain hemorrhage. I suspect her Christian, anti-fanfic phase was a result of mental illness and manipulation from the publishers, although I don’t think she ever apologized.

    Well, he wrote the Prequel and two sequel novels; one to Halo Combat Evolved and one that runs concurrently to the events of Halo 2.

    Halo: Fall of Reach and Halo: First Strike are the prequel and sequel to Halo:CE, and Ghosts of Onyx is the one concurrent to Halo 2.

    The book tie-in for Halo: Combat Evolved was written by William Dietz and it’s not very good.

    Unlike Nylund’s work on Halo, which is fantastic.

      Oh, my bad, yes The Fall of Reach is the book to which I’m referring. It played a big part in establishing the mythos of the franchise and is GOATed.
