Award-winning author Mr.Gerald Everett Jones is my featured author of the month of November on Book 101 Review.

The author's screenplay adaptation of Mr. Ballpoint was awarded a Film Independent (FILM) Fellowship in 2001 by Independent Feature Project / West Screenwriting Laboratory under the working title, "The Big Idea." Inspired by the true story. Included in the Prize-Winning Literary Fiction Series from LaPuerta Books and Media
In 1945, Milton Reynolds introduced the ballpoint to the United States and triggered the biggest single-day shopping riot in history at Gimbels in Manhattan.
The Reynolds International Pen Company made $5 million in eight weeks during the first non-wartime Christmas season. Thereafter, increasing competition from established companies such as Eversharp triggered several years of the "Pen Wars."
