Early in the clown fandom, Rufo the Clown had taken stage for some of us and people got to see and know of the other horror clowns in the genre.
And other wonderful writers in the genre.
Rufo, amongst other popular characters such as his rival Jonathan Crowley, was created by the man, James A. Moore. I am very happy to say I got to know James a bit when one day he took a peak into the fandom world and had seen his murderous clown had a good number of fans. Fans who were creating in all sorts of ways.
James loved nothing more than to see people write. To tell a story. To see their work come to life. He had such a delight seeing everything that was made.
In the unfortunate news, James passed away March 27th from his battle with cancer.
I would love nothing more than for more love and passion for creativity to be shared and spread out. If you can, find his work and support it. He wrote over 50+ stories not only for horror but mystery, Sci fi, and even aided in comics and tabletop games. He had many books of collaborative pieces with other authors and friends.
James and his work meant very much to me. I had gotten into writing from the Pennywise fandom, but when James told me he liked my work, that's what kept me going. To know the man I admired and writing gave me chills had enjoyed words I created, which has lit such a spark in me that I will make sure never goes out. He had inspired so many, and I hope he will continue to inspire for future generations of authors.
James, you will be dearly missed. I wish there had been a chance for us to meet, especially waltzing into the horror cons you'd go to as your clown, Rufo. I know I wouldn't have been a very tall Rufo, but that's the hoot of it. Maybe one day I will still be down the years from now. We just have to wait longer to get to meet.
Rest easy, my friend. Gray skies are gonna clear up ❤️🎪🩵
