Dear Reader,

It's that time of year again! Time to enter the Write a Dear Reader contest.

For the past two years I've invited readers to "fill-in" for me while I'm on vacation. This year my husband and I will be heading back to the Blue Ridge Mountains, but before I leave I'll choose two winning columns. The columns will be published at the book clubs and the winners will each receive 54 books (most of them signed) and a book bag from Vanguard Press.

If you love to write, or if you've never written anything, but thought about it--give it a try. Hundreds of readers enter the contest every year and it's interesting, because at the end of almost every entry there's a note--"Even if I don't win, I had fun and it felt good to write this column. Thanks for the opportunity."

Can you help me out? I'd love to hear from you. Write a Dear Reader column and send it my way. To see the prizes and read the guidelines go to: http://tinyurl.com/349g6k

Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.

I love your column on the "persuasive" man. What a unique way of handling them.
