RIDLEYPEARSON

A ridleypearson is a word usage worth noting. In _The Pied Piper_ (Hyperion, copyright 1999 Ridley Pearson) see pages 33 (razor man = surgeon), 321 (pocket protector = computer geek or guru or nerd), 356 (prison talk: conjugal visits = jungle visits), and 376 (Blue Line = boundary that divides cops from criminals) for a taste. (Ridley Pearson is the author of some 15 to 20 novels, generally combination thriller and police procedural.) Example: Great phrasing, Dana--that's a ridleypearson.
