Love the story, can't wait for the next chapter. Nice work Michele.
I am posting this before the 'punctuation and grammar police' start their whining...
Anonymous (and you guys always are) thanks for the English lesson but you are wrong. There are no "rules' per se when writing fiction and grammar is used differently in different countries.
What you are referring to are 'dialogue tags' also often referred to as an attribution, a dialogue tag is a small phrase either before, after, or in between the actual dialogue itself.
Modern writers consider them passe when it is obvious which character is speaking, unless one is specifically need to place an inflection on the dialogue.
Cormac McCarthy would never had been published if uptight editors who still feel the sting of their English teacher's ruler on their knuckles had their way.
That said I'm glad you like the story and the conventions there of. If you'd like to contact me or post under your user name I'm sure we could have a lively discussion.
