Thank you to my tremendous readers who take time out of their lives to read my books. I am so grateful.
John, Mara and Josh Leach, thank you for once again letting me use the beloved Otis in this book. I never get tired of looking at photos of him when writing his scenes. To Chris, Deb, Ralph and Josie Giordano for bringing the cuteness known as Boots into the family. And for those of you wondering, yes, his ears really do go up like that and we did once have a conversation about how he looked like the Flying Nun. Also, thanks to Deb for the great Botox line. Thanks also to Kevin and Cindy Palmer because even though Fannie and Josie were not in this book, I couldn’t resist throwing their nickname in.
Scott Silverii and John Leach, thank you for always answering my emails and for sharing your law enforcement knowledge. Any mistakes I’ve made are mine, but I’m hoping I didn’t blow it! To my plotting and critique partners and all-around great pals, Kelsey Browning and Tracey Devlyn, I could not make this journey without you. Amy Remus, you’re a warrior! Thank you for helping me manage the business side of being an author so I can spend more time writing. To the fabulous Gina Bernal, you’ve been with me from the beginning, and I continue to learn from you with each book. Thank you!
Finally, to “my guys” who make me laugh every day and give me all the love a girl could ever want. I love you.
