Health issues ?

To my knowledge, Cussler has not appeared/'held' any book signings since mid-to-late 2016. At one of the last ones I attended in late 2015 / early 2016, it seemed/appeared to me that he had a little difficulty 'getting with the flow' at the start of the book signing session, but seemed to improve at time passed.

'Normally,' when a new book comes out, a local (Scottsdale, AZ) bookstore holds a signing/release 'party', but it hasn't held one in over a year and there have been at least three books released.

Though he's not a spring chicken, I'm curious if there might be a medical reason why he has not made any public appearances in over a year.

Also, would this be article-worthy? 2600:8800:786:A300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 03:09, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Photo in Infobox

Can someone, please, get a better photo/pic of Clive ? ? ? 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 01:51, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I added to wikimedia commons a picture of Cussler I took in 2004 when he came to Paris. The quality is not good, but maybe it's good enough for a thumbnail? I let you choose if it's better than the current photo or not : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Clive_Cussler_2004.jpg --Frédéric Neupont (talk) 10:13, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki image policy confuses the hell out me, but I found this one from 2005 in the Guardian's obituary, so I assume that qualifies as being in the public domain. https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/2c0958ad819673c7a47d5d4cfdb99f2432d8e291/0_0_3008_1806/master/3008.jpg?width=1920&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=b1d11a46ac91277e9d8f5c3c1193c9a0 douts (talk) 15:41, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
