The best thing about writing this book was all the time I spent dancing. Here’s a zaghareet for the amazing ladies at Harmony Belly Dance, especially my teacher and friend Candace Aldridge Sanchez and her family, and for Joanne Hewko, who not only didn’t blush in embarrassment when I busted out dance moves on our dog walks, but danced along with me. As always, thanks to the Wildwood Writers, my family and, last but absolutely not least, my fellow writer, editor and friend Robin Stevenson.
