Thank you to: Riley, Robert, Dina, Michelle, Darlene, Jennifer M., Molina, Jane, Nanci, Suzanne, Jen H., Shaun, Lynda, Taya, Tindra, Jen, Kate, Brianne, Steve, Elizabeth P., Krista, Heather G., Annette, Joe, Peter, Elizabeth C., Carrie, Lyn, Jeff, Amy, Naomi, Jordan, Nina, Skye, Nadja, Ryan, Steph, Elizabeth G., Marisha, Karen G., Karen P., Douglas, Henry, Mary, and R.C.</p> <p class="p4">Special thanks also to Lilith Saintcrow, for her enthusiasm and encouragement over an early draft of the book, and Adrienne Jones for her support of an entirely new genre I wasn’t sure about. Both ladies reassured me I stuck the landing and accomplished what I set out to do with <span class="t7">The Silent Places</span>, and they are why you get to read it today.</p> <p class="p4">I have more standalone thrillers I’d like to write, as well as a mystery series on my writing schedule
