Kudos for Walter Mosley!

After the rush (it appeared to me), I finally joined Facebook and started "friending" old classmates and the like.  I also---again, in time--spend time with my profile for the account and added book "Likes" in the favorite entry.  Under book, I added Walter Mosley, author of the great "Easy Rollins" series and others.  Ezekiel "Easy" Rollins is a Los Angeles private detective on the job from the 40s through the 60s.

To my surprise last month, I received a Facebook message about Mosley as a Facebook fan.  Mosley was recognized on the list of "New York's 100 Most Important Living Writers" from the Flavorwire website.  The entry notes his various awards along with his writing range including "science fiction, literary fiction, non-fiction, and at least one book of erotica."   

I've been impressed with Mosley's novels and  broad creative reach for a while.  It's good to see him get this recognition.
