Thanks to…
The readers of Hip to Be Square and the retailers who carry it, for encouraging a new author.
Hap and Julia Lyda, for generously allowing me to use the coast cabin as my personal writing retreat. It truly saved me!
Glen and Elaine Lyda, for their hospitality, encouragement, laughter, and kindness. And for the many meals at their special table with the best view along the Oregon coast.
Kim Moore, my generous and supportive editor, who has a good eye for scenes and a great heart for her work and her authors.
To all the women in my life who have taken big steps this past year and inspire me to take leaps of faith. To Andrea—thanks for the road trip adventure and for modeling courage and faith even when you didn’t feel it.
And to my cousin, Randy, for the tours of DC, your hospitality, and for great conversations at a rooftop restaurant, a cabin table, and on a fabulous porch.
