"Dear Mr. Levine: Twenty years ago, you predicted the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, or nearly so."
That's the opening of an e-mail I recently received from a woman in Tennessee who had just read the e-book edition of
"Night Vision," my 20-year-old legal thriller featuring linebacker-turned-lawyer Jake Lassiter.
Fiction often predicts reality. From Jules Verne and H.G. Wells...to little old me. But did I really predict the Gulf diaster? I write about it in "For Novelists, Future Isn't Fiction" on
Huffington Post.
