Acknowledgements
I am blessed to have family and friends who support me by reading early manuscripts with a critical eye and consulting in areas of their expertise to make sure the telling details are accurate. Thank you to April Trabucco, Virginia Gustafson, Etty Garber, Cheryl von Drehle and Father Doug Weiss for the notes you gave me on story development. Special thanks my consultants: Father Doug Weiss educated me about Anglican politics; Reverend James von Drehle shared his experiences as a chaplain in a psychiatric hospital; Joel Avey served as my weapons consultant; and Jeff Trabucco consulted on the technical and marketing aspects of the fictional product my characters invented in a garage and turned into a manufacturing operation at an exciting time in history when enterprise was part of the American Dream. I also want to thank my community of Groveland, California, that is so hospitable to writers, and all the readers who have encouraged me to write this sequel to The Sheep Walker’s Daughter. Finally, thanks to first edition publisher Lynellen Perry at HopeSprings Books, who worked to promote realistic Christian fiction, and to the second edition publishers at Torchflame Books who champion meaningful books.
