A POPULAR BIT OF ADVICE for authors is “Write What You Know.” I prefer to think of it as “Write What You Can Learn” and I want to thank the people who have given me enough information to make the book as accurate as possible. Any errors are due either to my misinterpretation of what they tried to make me understand, or stretched for the sake of the story. It IS fiction, after all.
Josh Moulin for cell phones and technology.
Amy Daraghy for answering my questions about Oregon.
Derek Vissage for his pet expertise.
Sergeant Cliff Carpenter of the Salem Police Department, Lee Lofland, and Mark Hussey, Homicide Detective (ret) for the cop stuff.
Todd Matthews for identifying missing persons.
Doug Lyle, MD and Rudy Wencl, PA-C for medical advice.
As always, Wally Lind, et al, from Crimescenewriter for answering questions about almost anything.
My critique partners, Karla Brandenburg, Steve Pemberton, and Susan Clayton-Goldner
My editor, Brittiany Koren
The Killion Group for the cover
And, of course, to Dan, my ever patient husband for putting up with the hours I spend at the computer.
My sincerest apologies to anyone I’ve overlooked.
