About the Author
CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as ?America?s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.? He has been called a ?language fanatic? by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, and a ?cult hero? by Publisher?s Weekly. An eccentric scholar, Conley?s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the ?virtual pet? in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular ?Tamagotchi? in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley?s website is OneLetterWords.com.

More About the Author
CRAIG CONLEY has been called "a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure" (Clint Marsh), "America's most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation" (Encarta), a "language fanatic" (Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams), and a "cult hero" (Publisher's Weekly). An eccentric scholar, Conley's ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the "virtual pet" in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular "Tamagotchi" in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley's ONE-LETTER WORDS: A DICTIONARY is published by HarperCollins, and his MAGIC WORDS: A DICTIONARY is published by Weiser Books.
