With A Parting Shot being Allie’s last ride, I would be remiss if I didn’t thank some folks who made the Allie Cobb Mysteries happen. First off, huge thanks to my wonderful agent, Dawn Dowdle, who threw down the challenge to turn an idea of mine into the first Allie Cobb adventure. I also can’t thank my editor, Bill Harris, enough, who gave Allie and the Rushing Creek gang a second life and three more adventures. And most of all, I want to thank you, dear reader, for spending you time with Allie, Ursi, Sloane, and everyone else from Rushing Creek. You rock!
