Our thanks to this week's sponsors, Tell Harlequin, a reader's panel for women's fiction.

The nicest email I read today:

I wanted to let you and Gene know that I was reading Frequently Asked Questions on my way to work this morning and I was so engrossed and entertained that I almost missed my tram stop. Had I not had to flip the book to read the split panel about a zombie book, I never would have looked up and I would have been hours away from where I needed to be before I noticed. I still can't decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Perhaps I should only continue reading at home when I have no scheduled appointments....
