The Mouse House, aka the reason why I haven’t been posting regularly, is finally ready to be rented.

Anyone interested can visit the website:

I’m so in love with this house I’d like to move in there myself, although sadly there isn’t quite enough room for The Brady Bunch…

Open House this weekend for prospective renters…

Reading our local website, www.westportnow.com, I came across a story in which a man had been reported to the police for removing boxes waiting in line to enter the library book sale.

That’s right, boxes.

Instead of showing up early and waiting in line, numerous people, it seems, had, in lieue of their actual selves, placed boxes and cartons in line, with their names on them.

The man questioned removed the boxes and left a very polite sign saying: “No boxes; if you want to wait in line, wait in line. Thanks.”

The library, (in which, by the way, I write all my books, and I support them - almost - unequivocally), issued an apology to the boxes.

Well, actually it was an apology to the people who placed the boxes, but since the people didn’t actually show but sent their cardboard representatives, I’m going to assume the apology was really to our cardboard friends.

If anyone knows who the man is that removed the boxes, can they give him a pat on the back from me?

Because I too, think it absolutely nuts that people are sending boxes to ensure they get in there first.

NUTS.

And for the record, I don’t think it should be allowed.

I’m just sayin’…

Melissa, a rather attractive cardboard box with blonde highlights…

I stumbled upon this review this morning. I think it’s good, I can’t be sure, but it certainly wins the prize for most peculiar - and funniest - review ever. Translations would be gratefully received…

Tomorrow night, at 7pm, I’m giving a talk and reading at the brand new Barnes & Noble on New York’s Upper East Side (86th and Lexington), and to celebrate this great new superstore, I’m going to offer all the audience members a chance to submit their name to appear in my next novel!

At the end of the evening, I will pull a name from the proverbial hat, and that person just has to provide me with a few basic details, and they’ll be able to (announcers voice again…) immortalise their name, and impress their friends, with an EXCLUSIVE PART IN THE NEW JANE GREEN NOVEL!!! (back to normal voice).
