This project came together with a lot of help
from various people and I’d like to thank:
Susan Litman, for inviting me to be part of the
FAMILY BUSINESS continuity;
the other fabulous authors of this series,
for answering all my questions and making
this project so much fun;
Jeff Mahoney, for information and insights
about working in the newspaper business;
Dave Ferguson, for stories and pictures
from his trip to Tokyo;
Bruce and Peggy Wallace, for sharing
their cottage so I can escape to my writing;
my mom, who watches the kids while I escape;
and especially my husband, Neill,
who loves me even when I’m under the pressure of
deadlines (because I know that isn’t easy!)
