I have been guilty, before, of forgetting a scented candle and going out to weed the flowers or otherwise leaving the house. But I don't think that will happen again! We were very lucky and we know it. Check your smoke detectors! That is what saved my house and family. I am so glad that I paid to have them hard-wired into my electrical system. And, as I mention in my blog, make sure you have a fire extinguisher or three, and that you can find it and know how to use it!

Mitchell Wed, 23 Jun 2010 00:09:15 +0000 http://robinhobb.com/?p=598#comment-1307 I've just begun Renegade's Magic, having enjoyed the previous titles, and I stumbled on this site entirely by accident. How eye-opening it is that while reading from any given work one is barely cognizant of the author's existence, let alone the idea that a tragedy might befall them between chapters. In a roundabout way it engenders in one a feeling of peculiar guilt! I'm sincerely sorry for your misfortune. But as you say, all are well and the damage wasn't total; on an even brighter note, statistically it's highly improbable that you'll be subject to housefire again. So now it's out of the way, good riddance to bad rubbish? I’ve just begun Renegade’s Magic, having enjoyed the previous titles, and I stumbled on this site entirely by accident.
