Nick's friend Barry Sanders, an Oregon Book Award finalist this year, was featured in the Sunday Oregonian. Two of Sanders' books are finalists for the Oregon Book Award - Unsuspecting Souls, and The Green Zone, both in the nonfiction category.

Our favorite part of the article is a reference to a quote from William Blake: "He who kisses the joy as it flies lives in eternity's sunrise."

We wish him the best of luck when winners are announced next Monday.
