Good for you, Blair. I am a firm believer in reading your writing out loud. I actually try to read most of what I write aloud (sometimes to my pets if no one else is around) regardless of whether it is dialogue or not, but of course, especialy when it is dialogue.

Just found reference to your book Look Over your shoulder – is it still available on line?
Unfortunately, Look Over Your Shoulder is still looking for a home.
