If you've been a blogging member for a while, you can read and "hear" the voices come through. You can recognize the writing pretty much as you can identify a person when you hear them speak. We each have a style, and there are just as many styles as writers.  Some open up their personalities and allow you to get to know them personally and professionally.

How did she find me?  It turned out that I had sold a unique home for her brother-in-law after a family member had the property for a year with no success. She also asked a neighbor about me and got his response, "You can't do any better than her."
