Dear Laura–

I won’t say it’s not possible, but frankly, I’d be surprised as heck if there were errors of that sort. (Mind, changing POV from one short scene to the next might jar the reader–and is in some cases, _meant_ to {g}–but it’s not an error.) Could you tell me a few of the specific instances you saw? (page #, if possible) Thanks!

I am lagging behind in my reading because I am a very extremely busy woman, nevertheless I am beginning chapter 80 of Echo in the Bone. I read through the 70′s chapters and found it strange when I was reading first person through Claire’s eyes and popped into third person in a matter of paragraphs, or chapters. Did anyone else find a problem with this?

Don’t get me wrong, it is a difficulty and I do understand what Diana meant so the story isn’t compromised. I just found it odd that the editor didn’t pick up on this.

I love Diana’s work and it has changed my life, I just find this simple error ironic:)

I am also very interested to finish so that I can look forward to the Space Between!

Will this be the same anthology with the story about Rogers dad? (Songs of love and death?)

Michael has an interesting 'voice'. I look forward to more of his story. Thanks for sharing these past two excerpts.

So that's how Jamie wins at cards so much. And another good card player in the family. I'm loving your little sneak peeks at Michael and Joanie's story.
