Acknowledgements

From Joanne

To Dean, for encouraging me to follow my Muse, no matter what path she ventures down. To my sons for making the journey a pleasure: Taylor for always caring enough to ask about my work (and patiently listening while I talk about it), Camden for texting me encouraging words on days that I think I can’t write anymore, and Maxim for lifting my spirits by suggesting story ideas so offbeat that I laugh long afterward. I am so proud of you boys, you can’t begin to imagine. Thank you to the savvy book sellers who make the Camp series a success by mentioning it to the customers who will love it most, especially Elizabeth Bluemle and Josie Leavitt of The Flying Pig Bookstore in Vermont, who hosted a fabulous launch for us. We are so grateful. To Barbara Vey of Beyond Her Book, for her support since the first time I met her, and to my agent, Barbara Collins Rosenberg, who is a much-needed voice of wisdom and encouragement. Thank you also to Amy Guglielmo, who invested so much time and her considerable fabulousness toward helping Karen and I launch this series with flair. Finally, thank you to the community online who have cheered us on since before our first book came out. We have tried to keep up with the bloggers on our “Rock Star Bloggers Hall of Fame” Pinterest board, but we know we’ve missed some of the awesomely supportive reviewers, bloggers, readers and fans who share their love of Camp Juniper Point. Your posts, emails and tweets have made our time at camp so special.

From Karen
