Having been guilty of posting a teaser as part 1 myself, I'll just say:

I like short intros. It gives the reader a chance to savor the set-up, think about how she would solve it, and look forward to seeing how the author solves it.

So, rock on, Karen. laugh

Happy, who is happy to share the Queen of Evil Cliffies title with all comers

This *is* my happily ever after.
