Random note: did anyone ever notice the fact that the "About the author" uses the old, passive-voice, construction of "was graduated from Smith College" rather than the active?

Did anyone else notice this in Wikipedia? LOL.
"After living in New York City for many years, Martin moved to the Hudson Valley in upstate New York where she now lives with her dog, Sadie, and her cats, Gussie, Adolph, Pippen, and Woody. Her hobbies include jet-skiing, rap battles, and writing flarf poetry."

Ann posted that her cousin Courtenay just had a baby and the name's spelling caught my eye, she had a BSC book dedicated to her back in the day. The baby's name? Carolyn

Re: Courtenay....that was the name of the little girl who disappeared in "Missing Since Monday." I've never seen anyone but Ann spell the name that way!

^ Courtenay is also the name of a city in British Columbia. Maybe that's where it came from!?

Ugh, I know. I saw when she posted that on Facebook. I felt so bad for her. I know that she and her dog were extremely close. I obviously didn't know Sadie but she seemed like such a good dog.

I dunno. I just saw on her facebook that Ann didn't even come up with the idea for the Babysitter's Club. Her editor, Jean Feiwel, did.

I didn't know that either. It kinda cheapens the whole thing.
