It is due to the generosity of two talented women that this book is possible. Both are celebrated authors, but despite their busy schedules, they took time to help me get this story completed.

Three years ago, Stephanie Michaels first helped me connect the dots and turned a hodgepodge of ideas into a coherent story. With the deadline looming on a call-out for regency Christmas tales, I had almost decided to give up. Without Stephanie’s help, this would still be a series of short, disconnected scenes.

This summer, when I had the opportunity to re-release this book I wanted to fix several errors concerning regency era customs and language. Sherry Gloag graciously brainstormed with me and offered some excellent solutions. Her expertise on the regency era was invaluable and greatly appreciated.

Writing is a solitary job, and even though we write about people we often forget to connect with them. The internet is a wonderful source, but it doesn’t have all the answers. Thank goodness for the generosity of people willing to share their talents and expertise!
