Dave Norem Hello Lois, I am quite taken with your quote, "The dead cannot cry out for justice. it is the duty of the living to do so for them." I would like to use it as an epigraph in my novel in progress, Killing, A Real Bad Business, a crime suspense novel? Of course your name would be credited with the quote. Thankyou for your consideration. You can find me on Facebook.

Hi Dave --
Private questions like these do not belong in my public Q&A space, although you are not the first frustrated GR user to resort to it. The way to communicate on GR is first to request to be friended by the person you are trying to reach, and then to use the GR internal email system. Turns out you have to be friended first in order to send a message, which is non-obvious. After being friended, it should be possible to get the person's GR addy to populate your intended GR email, and send it.
Ta, L.

Reading Erin Morgenstern's *The Night Circus* with my teenage daughter. Reading aloud increases my admiration for the writer as I feel the careful way she has chosen each word. It's the same with Tolkien or Rowling. I haven't read your books aloud; but when you read chapters in public or I hear the audiobooks, they sound like they are made to be heard. Do you read your own books aloud before a final copy?
