Acknowledgments

Petticoat Spy would never have come to be without family and friends who asked, “When is your next book coming out?” At last, it’s here!

As always, to my fellow writers in the Fortnightly Group—Dorothy Keddington, Ka Hancock, and Lou Ann Anderson—our fortnightly sessions of reading, critiquing, and friendship always keep me on the right track and encourage me to better writing. And, Nancy Hopkins, you make our writing retreats to Oregon brim with warmth, laughter, and wonderful Oregon hazelnut bread.

To Samantha Millburn, editor extraordinaire—your encouragement and belief in me kept the words and pages coming. Thanks for your insightful suggestions and for all you have done to make Petticoat Spy a better novel.

And to Stephanie and Michelle at Covenant for your excellent marketing and cover efforts and suggestions.
