Citations

Quite often in the midst of a conversation someone will pull a quote, statistic, or theory out as ammunition. Things like 'The Wall Street Journal says,' or 'Mark Twain once wrote,' or even 'Nazi Scientists discovered...' I use references quite a bit myself.

On three occasions now, people have quoted or referred to material from my book, Black Whole Son. Once the person couldn't even remember the source of what she was citing and was a bit embarrassed when I pointed out it was from my book. It's all so fantastic! Less than a month and people reference the book. I am a citation source. Yay!
