Bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey, whose novels depicted romance, erotica and suspense from the Black perspective, including
Milk in My Coffee,
Sleeping with Strangers and
Friends and Lovers, has died. He was 59.
He died in Los Angeles on Jan. 3 after a long illness, his longtime publicist confirmed Tuesday.
His publisher, Dutton, an imprint of Penguin Random House, referred to the popular writer as "an iconic author and friend" on social media.
Dickey's longtime publicist Emily Canders echoed those sentiments on Twitter adding, "As Eric's publicist for many years, I'll always remember what a kind, genuine person he was. Even when I was a young publicist (that definitely made mistakes here & there!) he was always so gracious. And it's rare to find fans more loyal than his."
