BRING OUT YOUR BOOK! BRING OUT YOUR BOOKS!

Well, guys, one of our members is looking for new books to read. Every last one of you is better read than I am. So here is the challenge. The first five of you who can recommend 10 unique science fixtion novels (and wants to participate), can be a "Crew Member X" in Wayson Harris # Six," which is due at my publishers by the end of August.

Submit your list of books and the name you would like to see. No submitting other people's names. No submitting stage names. Your books, your name, and your written permission.

Oh, and I know of at least one of you who does not want to be victimized in book form, but is especially well-read. Those of you with no ambition of being a Crew Member X may also submit. In fact, please do.

A WORD ABOUT VAVATRON

It is a hoax.  I wrote it as an April Fools gag, which I had actually wanted to publish on March 31.  As Japan is 18 hours ahead of us, 6:00 a.m. March 31 in Seattle would be April Fools day in Japan.  

The idea for this little prank, along with the game, came from Chris Charla and Mike Mika.

To those of you who were confused as to what to believe, I apologize for the delay in tipping my hand.  With the debate over the story's validity still raging, my editor wanted to give readers a few extra days to decide for themselves.

And for those of you who were wondering, those were quotes from Will Wright, Eddie Adlum, David Rosen, Eugene Jarvis, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Owen Rubin, Al Alcorn, et. al.   

Chris Taylor played along on a different level, allowing me to use his name.

Casey Staubach, on the other hand, never existed.

CONGRATULATIONS AARON, JENNIFER, & KALEB

So here it is--THE VAVATRON STORY.

I interviewed Will Wright, Chris Taylor, David Rosen, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Eddie Adlum, Eugene Jarvis, Owen Rubin, Al Alcorn and more just putting this baby together.  What do you think?

Senia, this one should be of special interest to you.
