“I was inspired to write ‘There’s No Mouse In My New House’ after moving to my townhouse in Maryland. While sitting on the floor arranging photos in an album, I observed a small shadow exiting the from the room. It was too small to be anything other than a mouse. Soon, those dreadful creatures that I feared became the subject of this book. Perhaps writing stories about them is therapeutic because I have a sequel in the works.” –Jean Smith Andrews
