We dedicate this book to our families, our friends and our readers. We appreciate your continued support with our stories.

We also want to dedicate this book to all the people who make small towns thrive: To the lighthouse keepers, firefighters, police officers, paramedics, ferry operators, waitresses and waiters, nurses, doctors, store clerks and all the people who make life in small communities the gem that they are. To you, we say thank you. You have been the inspiration for many characters of Oakwood Island that we love to write about and we hope you enjoy reading about too.

A sincere thank you to our publisher and editor, Geoff. Thanks for all your guidance with edits for this book and your dedication to the writing community.
