"Being kissed by author Ray Bradbury at a book signing event in Los Angeles was one of the great highlights of my life. I told him (Bradbury) he was my childhood favorite and that I spent hours on end at the public library reading his works. Tears welled up in his eyes and he kissed me. Wow! Never saw that coming."
