The longer I’m in this unusual world of publishing, the more I understand how much effort in takes on the part of a great many people to get my stories out into the hands of readers. I’d like to take a moment to thank some of those people.
To Raela Schoenherr, my editor who has been with me from my very first book. Your proficiency with story always amazes me, and your suggestions have improved my writing with every book.
To Jennifer Veilleux, a recent, and I must add, wonderful addition to my editing team. Your willingness to chat through plot points is so appreciated, especially when I write myself into corners and have no idea how to get out of those disasters.
To Noelle Chew, my marketing director and friend. Even though you did make me hike to dinner in really hot weather, up an incredibly steep hill, while wearing heels, I always enjoy your company, as well as your expertise in everything publishing related.
To Amy Green, my publicist. You rock. There’s really nothing else to add there.
To Rachael Wing, my adoptive daughter. Thanks for taking it upon yourself to decide I needed an assistant. You’re a bit bossy, but you were right—I desperately needed your help. So delighted you’ve found your perfect job at Bethany House. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for you.
To everyone else at Bethany House. You’ve been amazing to work with all these years. I couldn’t do this without you.
To Natasha Kern, my incredible agent. Thanks for all the support and advice. I appreciate you always looking out for me.
To Al and Dom, my guys. I’ll just leave it at that because I know it embarrasses both of you when I get mushy.
To The Gilded Gals of Turano Street, my fabulous street team. Thank you for the amazing support you give me, as well as all the ways you go about promoting my work. It’s been such a pleasure getting to know all of you.
To all my readers. You’re the best part of my job! Thanks for reading my stories.
And to God, who gives me all of my stories and gives me so much more every day of my life.
