My thanks to the awesome Mark Bogner for his help in creating KDSM, a fictional news station in St. Louis. Mark is the kind of guy who is driven to help people, whether he’s warning them about the weather or peering into their ears as a hearing instrument specialist. The stars in your crown will be many, my friend.
Thanks to my wonderful daughter-in-love, Shaen, for reading through this story and helping me punch it into shape. Love you, honey.
To my son, Danny: Thank you for taking me “through the mines” since I couldn’t get there myself. I love you.
Love and hugs to my “Inner Circle”: Mary G., Larry, Tammy, Michelle D., Cheryl, Rhonda, Susan, Karla, Lynne, Mary S., Michelle M., Bonnie, JoJo, and Zac. And to Zac: Still waiting for that ponytail! LOL!
To the incredible Kim Sawyer: Thank you for allowing me to use your kitties in my book. I love them all. And thank you for letting me spend time at the beautiful King’s Inn. It was such a privilege.
As always, thanks to Raela Schoenherr and Sharon Asmus. I’m so blessed to have you both in my life—even when the edits are so extensive it makes me think about changing my name to Gertrude and moving to Canada, eh?
And most of all, my thanks to God, who has given me this wonderful opportunity—and kept me from becoming Canadian.
