A voice from my past - the resident babysitter in my freshman dorm room at Brown was writing his dissertation on Mr. Bulwer-Lytton.  Unfortunately, my guess is that neither he, nor I'm assuming Mr. B-L, earned quite the royalties that Mr. Sandford has garnered.  However, Snoopy hasn't done too badly.

Dear Colleagues,


I just opened John Sandford's book "Mind Prey" (1995) to Chapter One.  Here's the opening paragraph for you to consider: 


"The storm blew up late in the afternoon, tight gray clouds hustling over the lake like dirty, balled-up sweat socks spilling from a basket. A chilly wind knocked leaves from the elms, oaks, and maples at the water's edge. The white phlox and black-eyed Susans bowed their heads before it." 



A moment to share.

Martha
