Guest Trivia Answer:
First, thanks to Nancy Shelby for the guest trivia question!

Yesterday, Win was released, the 33rd novel by Harlan Coben who is the father of Ben ’19 and Will ’21.  Watch here.  (Thanks, Joe Graves and Mike Ross!)

In a 2004 interview, Harlan was asked about his four children.  He said “Right.  Charlotte is ten.  Ben is going to be seven in June.  Will is five and Eve is nearly three.  No jobs yet.  They all still live at home.  But the nearly seven-year-old is kinda independent and we’re hoping he’ll have his own place soon”.

Way to go, Bob Toone, Ann Bixby, Don Schaffer, Martha Proctor Gano, Clarke Anderson, Jill Clausen, Mary Jane Kinnebrew, Bev Schorre, Susan Zimmerman, Dan Hyde, Michelle Cash, Paul Reese, Art Gottschalk, David Gano, James Walker, Bill Allison, Walt Greenberg, Larry Nettles, Chris Kohnhorst, Ted Richard, Bryant Wilkinson, Mike Rogers, Nancy Burch, Gloria Tarpley, Joe Graves, Ben Mayberry, Betty Bixby, Bob Reinhold, Melinda Clark, Richard Avant, Mike Ross and Sallie Schwall!
