My husband, John, for being an excellent and experienced custom knife maker (yes — he makes all our kitchen knives), for being involved in the military when we first got together and for retaining such a high regard for both occupations that it was easy to pick his brains for research. In fact, I had trouble stopping him talking in order to get on with my story.
I would also like to send heartfelt thanks to Escape Publishing Managing Editor, Kate Cuthbert (I adore you and your expertise), and to the editors involved with my Swallow’s Fall stories so far: Kylie Mason, Pauline O’Carolan and Harlequin’s own Annabel Blay. You each need to know how much you taught me and how grateful I am for the knowledge imparted.
Finally, my daughter, Liz, who refuses to read anything lovey-sexy I write but is still proud enough to say she knows me.
