Mahogany's Dream Read online

  Finally, I want to acknowledge my son Terrell, who had this conversation with me (when he was eight):

  “Hey Dad?”

  “Yes?”

  “If you could have just one wish, what would it be?”

  “I’d probably wish for more wishes. What would you wish for?”

  “I’d wish to think like a computer.”

  That statement lit a spark that eventually led to the creation of Dyson Conwell. Thanks, son.

  AUTHOR’S NOTE

  I do not share the bigotry of some of the characters in the story. Like real people, my characters are complex and flawed. However, in making them that way it was not my intention to offend anyone.
