Acknowledgements

I’d like to thank my family and friends who support my writing efforts and understand my crazy schedule. And thanks to all the Susans who make my life easier by all sharing the same name. Thank you to the real Aunt Beth who puts up with me and supports my efforts.

I would also like to acknowledge the people who make it possible for you to hear about and buy my books—Deon and Rich Stonehouse at Sunriver Books and Music, who have the best bookstore ever. Linne and Jack Lindquist of The Craftsman’s Touch Books, who tirelessly drive all over the US to quilt shows and allow myself and other authors to sign in their booth, are fantastic.

Many thanks to my fellow road warriors and roommates, Marie Bostwick and Patience Griffin.

I’d also like to acknowledge my granddaughter Amelia, who has already declared that she’s going to be a writer when she grows up just like Grammy. I must also mention her sister Claire, who will be unhappy if I don’t. She is a very good reader.

As always, none of this would happen without my publisher Liz. Many thanks.
