So, been futzing around a bit, but I really want to mention that a while back a long time family friend mentioned that her 19 year old son had written a novel. Oh dear,I thought, as I agreed to read what he had. So, when he handed over the pages, I peeked at a sentence or two, just to get a sense of what sort of mess I might be in for. I got a chill. Holy %&$*! Was it possible he could really write? Hell yes.

So, this is my prediction. If he keeps at this, Mark Reynolds will win a Pulitzer some day. Hey, I was right about Toni Morrison and the Nobel.
