Acknowledgments

 

Authors often have ideas that may or may not work. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Judy Melinek, Cynthia Rice, D.P. Lyle, Ruth Glick, Wesley Harris, Stacey Pearson, and Kia Dennis of CrimeScene Writers and Jen Prosser of Sisters in Crime Guppies for answering my legal and medical questions, thus preventing me from making some huge mistakes. 

 

And finally, as always, special thanks to Donnell Bell and Irene Peterson for their superb editorial skills.
