My books are not written in a vacuum but rather push their way into daily life, causing me to miss dinner, keep the lights on too late and to ask random questions, often of a grisly nature, at coffee break. Thanks to my friends and family for putting up with that. I also appreciate the flexibility of my knitting groups who always understand when I have to miss class for book related activities.
My sister-in-law, the real Beth, deserves sainthood for all the driving, cooking and the unfailing support of my writing activities. Her friends Sally and Kay also help when I’m in Texas and to them also, thank you.
Jack and Linne Lindquist of Craftsman’s Touch Books have opened a whole new world of opportunity for me by providing a venue for me to promote and sell my books and for being so kind and supportive. Thanks Jack and Linne.
Barb Stillman at the Country Register is a wonderful supporter—thank you Barb, I love the drawings and the winners.
A huge thank you to Deon Stonehouse, owner of Sunriver Books and Music in Sunriver, Oregon and also to Diana Portwood, manager of Bob’s Beach Books in Lincoln City, Oregon. Both stores host wonderful author events and have been gracious enough to include me.
A huge shout out to my cover artist April Martinez—the covers just keep getting better.
Last and most important, thanks to Liz for making it all happen.
