I was thinking "Splinter of the Mind's Eye", one of the first sci-fi novels based on the first "Star Wars" movie. Written before we knew Luke and Leia were siblings.....

Another one that I suppose I should explain before you all think my cheese has slid even further offa my cracker.

Going from 'grin' to 'Prine'.

Some may know..

First of all, Prine is John Prine, songwriter and singer.

And grin is connected to one of his most well known songs.
