Acknowledgments

Writing can be a solitary endeavor, but yet there are so many people who contribute to a finished book.


I’d like to thank my critique partner Tricia Hoover who keeps me on track even from halfway across the country. And also a special thanks to all of my beta readers, especially Jessica Lee Anderson, Kim Baccellia, and Cara Frazier. Thanks also to Rona Gofstein who is always quick with encouragement and advice. A special thanks to Katie Marciniak, daughter extraordinaire, who helps me work through the tough plot points and reminds me to put in question marks where needed. Also a special shout out to my son, Stephen, who happily provides ideas for plot twists, even if most of them don’t fit with the vision I have of the story. One day, one of them will, I’m sure.
