Hey Dean,
I haven't had the chance to reply to this yet, as I was away for a few days and had limited Internet access.
I think it is a great thing you are doing here. I for one know what thought and planning you put into your stories. To share that with the students is not only very brave but very helpful too.
Thank you for including me in your list of good writers, you know how much you opinion means to me!
As to your story, I am going to leave it to the students to have fun nit-picking it, since they are doing such a good job! You know how much I have enjoyed you O'Connell stories, and this one is no exception. It is sexy, creepy and oh so compelling.
