	Did I say otherwise? "James J. Butcher" is on the first line of the 
notes. Maybe his talent is genetic or maybe environmental, absorbed by 
James J. Butcher as he grew up in Jim Butcher's home.
	Though I loved the Dresden files I am glad we have another
generation of a popular fantasy writer in play.

	It will take people's mind off the inevitable Global Warming
Catastrophe much better than your denials.
