I mean in the mainstream press?<br /><br />What was it about this time that got publishers to say, "hey, there is a market for this stuff"?Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15518371151074926960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660994103025515363.post-33266472464828377892011-08-15T17:43:34.766-07:002011-08-15T17:43:34.766-07:00" She lifted her head from where it had been...."

She lifted her head from where it had been." -<br /><br />Exactly why one should never write as taught.
