He later read for that role and, naturally, he brought the character to life.<br /><br /><a href="http://maryaalgaard.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Play off the Page</a>Mary Aalgaardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051735579638637382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-32459527355460209742012-01-13T19:08:43.261-05:002012-01-13T19:08:43.261-05:00I love writing from the male perspective.

Sounds like a good one.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.siamckye.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye OVER COFFEE</a>~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-45871361307771477632012-01-13T09:52:38.349-05:002012-01-13T09:52:38.349-05:00Thank you so much for having me here today, Mason,...Thank you so much for having me here today, Mason, and to everyone who commented.
