I’d like to acknowledge the following people for their assistance and support:
My editor, Pamela Ficarella, who caught even tiny discrepancies and asked the questions that made this book even better.
My husband, Keith, for complicating my plots and energizing my fight scenes.
My daughter, Alana, for her unwavering belief in me.
My mother and sisters for understanding that edits had to come before vacation fun.
My writing buddy, Karen, for endless hours on the phone and over coffee.
And The Bats, for their own unique brand of encouragement.
