Acknowledgements

I’d like to thank the following people for their help and support in writing Vigilante Dead. First and foremost, Mark Lindstrom for your unconditional support, fabulous dinners, and wicked sense of humor; my amazing editor, Laurie Boris—I consider myself lucky to work with you; my writing group: Ali Mosa, Jenni Conner, Darlene Panzera; Mistress of Mayhem, Ruth M. Ross-Saucier; early readers Michelle and Brian Yelland, and Bev and Larry Van Berkom. Special thanks to the stellar ARTeam (you guys know who you are ;-), and as ever, TSODA134 (a.k.a. Special Forces Dude)—your detailed input adds an element of realism to my novels that I wouldn’t be able to achieve without your help.

Writing is never a solitary endeavor.
