Language barriers is the topic in this newsletter

Fellow thriller author Jenny Milchman invited me to participate in her wonderful newsletter to discuss language barriers as a non-native English speaker. I know, some people will say, "oh, I didn't know that" while others will claim, "Of course, that explains a lot!"
