Later Years
In 2002, R. D. Wingfield was diagnosed with prostate cancer. At about the same time he started writing the sixth, and final, Frost book, A Killing Frost. His wife, Phyllis Patten, whom he married in 1952, died in 2004. They had a son, Phillip. The cancer killed Wingfield in 2007, and A Killing Frost was published on 7 April 2008. All the books are now available in E-book format.
In 2011, the first of two new Frost books were published with the approval of the Wingfield family. The two books, First Frost and Fatal Frost are written by James Henry, a pseudonym for James Gurbutt and Henry Sutton.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“To be honest, I knew that there was no difference between dying at their years old and dying at seventy because, naturally, in both cases, other men and women will live on, for thousands of years at that.... It was still I who was dying, whether it was today or twenty years from now.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“I Years had been from Home
And now before the Door
I dared not enter,”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
