Dangerous Neighbors interview and giveaway

I'd posted this image long ago, before Dangerous Neighbors was a book with a home or a future. But this is Operti's Tropical Garden, where some of the novel action takes place, and I post it now so that it might send you fluttering toward the Adventures of Cecelia Bedelia, who is hosting a me interview and Dangerous Neighbors giveaway.  She asked some great questions about sisters, inspirations, research.  I hope my answers lived up to her curiosity.

Oh, and Cecelia:  Authors are flattered to answer reader's questions, especially when it comes to readers like you.
