Acknowledgments

There are so many amazing people I need to thank for helping make this book a reality. If I forgot anyone, I’m so sorry.

In The Eyewitness, I ventured into the incredible world of forensic science. To Timothy J. Curtis, Metropolitan Police, Washington D.C., retired, thank you so much for sitting down with me and allowing me to pick your brain. Your comments and clarifications in the numerous emails we shared were so helpful in developing The Eyewitness’s storyline. I’m very grateful for your time and have such respect for what you do. You, and all the men and women in the field of forensic science are the example of unsung heroes. You have my deepest gratitude.

To my amazing editor, Julie Sturgeon, thank you for your fantastic edits. I don’t know how you do what you do, but I appreciate you so much. I send you a manuscript and you send back what I think of as our book. I hope we can do this again many times in the future.

And a huge thank you to all the wonderful, talented people at Crimson Romance who work so hard to get this book into the hands of readers. I love our partnership.

To my best friend and the love of my life, my husband. You ground me and keep me sane. There would be no book without your amazing encouragement. You have taught me in so many ways what true love means. I love you and thank God every day you are in my life.

To my kids, Martin and Megan, my heartbeats, I love you so much and can’t thank you enough for your laughter, support, and endless patience. And can I just say how amazing I think you both are? You truly inspire me.

And, finally, I can’t write a book without my daily therapy from my dear sisters, Terriann, Mary, and Elizabeth. You know what you mean to me, what we mean to each other. ILYWOSMH!!!
