Hey,  are you still active here?  I started reading one of your works and couldn't believe it didn't have any likes. You're a great writer. :) Also,  I like many of the same authors you do. :)

she writes a good balan of story romance. it also nice that the characters are adults and not teenagers. kind of tired of that view point. not that its bad just tiring. pulls out the mom in me. makes me want to reach out and smack some characters. lol, forget how insecure teenagers can be.

@lisacldmom2ksd  Yeah, I agree. Teenagers doing stupid things can get a story moving sometimes but it's nice to find a plot that doesn't rely on that.

@AmberFatima  You're very welcome! The best way of getting the syntax of a seventeen-year-old learner correct would probably be talking to someone who has taught ESL in Japan. (Perhaps the occasional confusion between base form of a verb and third person singular present "he show that the city is unsafe", and an unwillingness to use contractions?) 
          
          The education system in Japan is very exam oriented with little chance for students to use their spoken English, so a student might have an advanced vocabulary but be shy about using a lot of it. Play with it, and see how it fits your character.
