After his critically acclaimed novel "A Thousand Benjamins" was published, much was expected of Michael Kun (especially by his employers, who really wished he'd start doing some work). No one, however, expected that he would disappear from the literary world for 13 years. His disappearance led to rumors of his death, many of which appeared on customer reviews on amazon.com.

Michael supposedly died in the following ways: (click for details)

Drug overdose Drowning while scuba diving
Mountain climbingAutomobile accident
Airplane accidentAlcohol poisoning
Murdered by enraged husband/boyfriend of a woman he knew
 
The publication of "The Locklear Letters" and several subsequent books will hopefully put rumors of Michael Kun's death to rest for at least a few years.
