Today is Ray Bradbury's ninety-first birthday. Those of you who know me know how important Ray, as an author and a man, has been to me. I am not alone in this and hardly unique, as I have tried to express on the dedication page of my new novel coming this fall, Traveling in Space:
For Ray Bradbury
I am but one of millions you have entertained and inspired
I am but one of thousands who started writing because of you
I am but one of hundreds you have befriended and been so generous to
But you, sir, you are one of a kind
