Tommy Donbavand
Tommy Donbavand (28 November 1967[1]-14 May 2019[1][2]) wrote the BBC New Series Adventures novel Shroud of Sorrow.
In late 2015 and early 2016, Donbavand wrote several stories for the Doctor Who Adventures magazine.
Illness[]
In March 2016, Donbavand was diagnosed with cancer, forcing him to stop writing and be hospitalised. [3] In July, Obverse Books published a charity anthology of Doctor Who-themed short stories called A Target for Tommy to raise money for Donbavand. Many notable Doctor Who writers contributed to the collection, including Paul Magrs, Stephen Cole, Paul Cornell, and Daniel Blythe. [4]
After his recovery from throat cancer, Donbavand was then diagnosed with a tumour in his lung. Obverse Books released a second charity anthology, A Second Target for Tommy, in February 2018 which included the exclusive publication of the Christopher Eccleston draft scene by Steven Moffat for The Day of the Doctor.[5]
Death[]
Donbavand died from his cancer on 14 May 2019.[6] The Target Storybook was dedicated to his memory, as was the Big Finish Doctor Who audio anthology Time Apart, which included a story written by Donbavand, What Lurks Down Under, recorded and released posthumously.
