I think you've got me confused with someone else who is deleting. I'm adding. My edits include adding Dominick's last book (Too Much Money)...at the top, with the correct citations...and per the guide...referencing other articles (which I've included below). Maybe they didn't reach you? I don't know - which is not unusual, considering I could *barely* find this page. Am sure it comes as no surprise to you that I am not exactly Wikipedia proficient.

Variety - July 23, 20008 http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117989378.html?categoryid=15&cs=1&query=dominick+dunne+TMZ "RAN INTO my good friend, the writer Dominick Dunne at the popular River Tavern in Chester, Connecticut. He was being interviewed by an ace newsman from London, Nick Brown. (He wrote the brilliant bio on Phil Spector.)

Dominick was looking fine, but at the end of this month the Vanity Fair columnist is having a fairly serious operation and so his many pals, led by Bonnie Russell, asked TMZ's Harvey Levin to create www.DominicksDiary.com. Fans can send Dominick a happy message."

"It ain't my time yet," the Vanity Fair writer, who's fighting bladder cancer, told Page Six. "I'm feeling much better and everyone tells me how great I look. I'm still getting treatment, but I'm doing really well." Dunne, 83, who's finishing his new novel, "A Solo Act," says he's been heartened by fans' get-wells on dominicksdiary.com, including one from "Marley & Me" author John Grogan, who wrote: "You provided me one of the big thrills of my early years as a reporter. I was covering the William Kennedy Smith rape trial in Palm Beach for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel . . . You were already long a literary legend in my book, and I was thrilled to be able to exchange a few words with you outside the courtroom. I hung on every word you said - and wrote . . . Thanks for making a young journalist's day! I'll never forget your pleasant camaraderie."

Vanity Fair writer Dominick Dunne, responding to readers interested in his future with the magazine, posts at DominicksDiary that he expects to be back in the pages of VF shortly with a take on the Phil Spector trial.

   No no no! I have just been away on an extended medical treatment. I will shortly be back in the magazine reflecting on the finality of the Phil Spector trial, and writing an article on my experience in a clinic in Bavaria, Germany where I was treated for cancer. I also used the time to finish another book, titled "A Solo Act." Stay tuned! 

His site was created for him last year by Harvey Levin, at the urging of Bonnie Russell

"If you’d like to send a reassuring loving message to the writer Dominick Dunne as he struggles with his illness and you’re not the type to ring up and intrude or bother his sons, Alex and Griffin, why not send your thoughtful message to DominicksDiary.com. Dominick is at home in New York at his apartment. He reads the Diary every day.

When I visited Dominick recently in the hospital, I asked if there was anything he needed from his country house in Connecticut. He said yes, he’d like to have his Bronze Star sent to him, and friends obliged. I’ll bet you didn’t know Dominick, a private in World War II, received his medal for bravery by saving another soldier’s life. He always says, "I don’t know how I did it. I am not brave." But he is."
