Probably by Harry Potter.
It’s like this: I began a publicity campaign for Alma’s new Young Adult book. Some bookmarks I made, and some flyers for different conventions, featured the headline: “Move Over, Harry Potter.”
That is the only mention of the young wizard, but I think he may have taken exception.
First, there was the case of the owl hunting our resident squirrels on our deck. When I told the owl to “hunt elsewhere,” he flew straight at me, then landed a few feet away and glowered at me. Harry’s owl?
Then there is a matter of the mice. My wife has a phobia about mice, so we have an exterminator pretty much on call. When he last came, he discovered two mice. They were in traps, and dead of course, but my wife freaked out anyhow, particulary when a workman subsequently discovered mice tunnels under the patio.
Today, my computer stopped talking to the printer. Cost me $80 to sort that out.
Hey, Harry, knock it off.
