This is for Andi Byassee.

 

She has been with me since my very first novel, and I was so happy because finally, someone who “got” me.

 

She knew when to edit heavy, and when to let me speak in my voice.

I have come to love this woman and count her as a true friend, and to know never, ever to get annoyed when she uses her red pen.

 

Thank you, Andi, for allowing me to shine!
