Sean has poor reading skills at 6am

I've been burning my candle at both ends this week and not for any really good reason. Okay, maybe it is a good reason. My husband has been working long hours all week (leaving at 6:30am and not getting home until 9 or 10 at night) and if we want to talk to each other at all, we both have to stay up really late. Neither of us has had more than four or five hours of sleep per night all week. Normally, I can deal with sleep deprivation but, man, have I been dragging all week long. I've also had a terrible, pounding headache, too. I was beginning to think I might be coming down with something.

This morning, I staggered into the kitchen at a quarter of six to make coffee. I dumped the water in the coffee maker, put the coffee in the filter then just sort of stood there for a minute, staring at the bag of coffee I started using on Monday. It was then I noticed an unfamiliar word on the bag: D-E-C-A-F.

Sort of explains it all, doesn't it?

Hello,

I'm creating a bibliographic record for your novel Dead of Winter for inclusion in our database and submission to OCLC's WorldCat for international use. There is already a writer named Sean Harris in the Library of Congress's name authority files, so I'd like to create an authorized form of your name that will distinguish you. Would you mind supplying your birth date so I can use it? Dead of Winter sounds right up my street, so I'm looking forward to reading it.

Thanks,
