Acknowledgments

Often the acknowledgments are a laundry list of names, and there are certainly many people I’d like to thank. But since the list hasn’t really changed from the last few books, I’d like to say “ditto.”

Instead, a heartfelt thank you to all those people who encouraged me. Thanks to those who told me I could write when I didn’t believe it myself, to those who nudged me to finish when I was more ready to give up, and to those who took on tasks that let me follow my dream, when maybe I should have been doing something else … like cooking dinner. You’ve made all this possible.

But a special thanks to readers who’ve told me they enjoyed spending time with my characters. To see a book that I’ve written, bound and with a pretty cover, is a joy. But to know that it’s been opened and read and enjoyed is truly priceless. Thank you!
