Thank you to Josie and Fannie Palmer (a.k.a. The Ninja Bitches) for providing me with years of great material for my stories. Sadly, during the course of writing this book, both Josie and Fannie moved on to doggie heaven. Josie and Fannie were littermates and lived to be sixteen years old. Sixteen! My dear friends Kevin and Cindy lost their precious girls within three months of each other and, as all pet owners will understand, the loss was heartbreaking. Still, “the girls” provided a ton of love and laughter and I will always be grateful Cindy and Kevin allowed me to share them with my readers.
Thanks also to Tony Iacullo who continually provides me with legal angles I can use in my books. A big thank you to Scott Silverii who jokingly floated a title idea of Dog Collar Coitus and inadvertently gave me an idea for a dog who wound up saving a scene. Thanks also to Liliana Hart for the support and for sharing her knowledge. You guys are the best! To my editor, Gina Bernal, thank you for helping me transform my ideas into something I can be proud of.
Misty Evans, my writing partner and friend, thank you for always answering those emergency emails when I’ve written myself into a corner and need help working my way out.
As usual, thank you to my guys for making me laugh every day. I love you.
Finally, thank you to my readers, who have embraced this series that I love so much.
