RD's first book from 1986?????

[Blade Braxton]

Gee, you learn something new every day.

www.amazon.com/Reynolds-Vitamin-B-6-Health-Disease/dp/0471847631/sr=1-2/qid=1165017466/ref=sr_1_2/104-2745351-4073518?ie=UTF8&s=books

Two questions. One - why have you kept this work written when you were 17 years-old hidden from us for so long?

Two - should I throw away my beloved Flintstones children's chewables away, in favor of a more "mature" vitamin B tablet?

Thanks,
Blade

In answer to question 2, never deny yourself the awesomeness of Flinstones Chewable vitamins.

Flintstone Chewables should never be discarded. I mean, heck, Christina Aguilera demanded them for her 2000 tour!

I have to agree with the reviewer on Amazon - this was not my best work. Of course, since I wasn't out of high school yet, and have no idea what vitamin B6 is even today, I do have a bit of an excuse.

itamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin. The three major forms of vitamin B6 are pyridoxine (also known as pyridoxol), pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine, which are all converted in the liver to pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) — a cofactor in many reactions of amino acid metabolism. PLP also is necessary for the enzymatic reaction governing the release of glucose from glycogen.

I was a published author when I was 8 so anything's possible!


And no I'm not kidding

So you really did write it? Interesting. Is it possible that Blade's BooBerry obsession can be linked with RD's cereal book?! And lildude, tell us this story on you publishing a book at 8, sounds interesting as well.

[Macho Dude Handy Damage]

published at the age of 8? how did that happen?
and seriously, i'm confused (or maybe just tired after working night shift at work) bu is this really RD's book, or jst someone who had the same name (or alias)?

[lildude8218]

In the 3rd grade they picked a bunch of kids (i don't know if it was the top of the class or whatever) out of all the classes to spend time every week writing a story. I can't remember how many weeks it was but it was a pretty long process. We had to come up with a story, write it, make illustrations, etc etc. And it was all done on construction paper with crayons.

Anyways, it turns out that it wasn't just some stupid thing but it was actually part of this bigger contest with several schools in NYC. Somehow my story wound up winning and it was published (in a very short supply) and on sale somewhere in Manhattan. There was a big awards ceremony and everything but sadly I couldn't go. I can't remember the exact details but I think my parents had already planned out a vacation to FL so we couldn't make the ceremony. My mom arranged to have my medal and whatnot mailed to us but I never received it.

So pretty much there's a copy of a book out there somewhere with my name on it, I don't even have a copy. I have the original somewhere in a box though, at least I think I do.

So that's my story. Published author at the age of 8. Hopefully my 15 minutes of fame wasn't wasted there lol

Good question, actually. Joe never told me that. And if Joe didn't tell me, it's not worth knowing, DAMMIT!!!!!!!

Well hell.

And I thought my AP classes were me being the best I could be. BUT NO, RD HAD A BOOK OUT BY THEN.

I may as well just give up now.

If Joe knew the other half of the battle, perhaps he'd actually CAPTURE AND ELIMINATE the Cobra rather then just foiling him and letting him slip away.
