We make terrible neighbors, so we moved waaay out to the country. With three boys, at least that many guitars, and a night owl schedule that keeps us awake til all hours, it was the kindest gift we could give to the town. Now, we can only bother the rabbits! They feed themselves here, so when they get tired of us, they can take off for parts unknown. I like to think they favor me best since I'm the quiet one in the house ;-) . Hi Jamie!

I like to think of myself as a reasonably good neighbor; we don't have much in the way of pets or big plants, so the only way we infringe on our neighbors is when the kids are screaming in the backyard or worse, when I'm screaming at the kids ;p And thankfully we've got good neighbors! The one entertaining incident was when their dog started magically showing up in our backyard. We finally figured out that there was a loose board in the fence where she was sneaking through and we took care of that, much to her and my kids' dismay (they liked watching out for her to appear).

I was disturbed enough by it to call the police after demanding that the children carefully come down from the roof. Turns out the mom was in the shower and had no idea the kids were up there. Eek.

Blazes are first cycle books and are technically supposed to arrive in stores on the first of the month. I have heard that some stores put them out earlier than the first of the month, which makes things incredibly confusing for all of us. I doubt Harlequin has any control over that issue, but I could be wrong. The best way I can think of to handle this problem is to pick a store where you prefer to buy your Harlequin books and ask the manager there or the book stocker when exactly they put the new Harlequins on the shelves each month. It's likely a book stocking person would best know the answer to that question. I know it's very frustrating though--I've had trouble finding my OWN book in stores! Which is why I order most of my books online now. :-S Hi Nancy,
