I was tagged by sboman for the nearest book meme that’s been going around. Here are the rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people and post a comment to my blog once you’ve posted your three sentences.
Techincally, the nearest book to me is my own. I have a box of copies of Something to Blog About sitting between the computer desk and the bookcase. But I’ll use something else instead.

–Something to Blog About
That happens to be one of my favorite scenes from the book and the one I had the most fun writing.
I liked that scene, too. I just finished your book and really enjoyed it!
