Acknowledgments

I am so grateful for my wonderful agent Nicole Resciniti. She’s in the business of making dreams come true and is the very best at the job. I thank my editors: Julie Gwinn for her thoughtful comments, and Julie Carobini for her eagle eye while critiquing all of the Appleseed Creek Mysteries. Each novel is stronger because of them.

I send best wishes to my writing buddies Amanda Carlson, Marisa Cleveland, Jen J. Danna, Marianne Harden, Melissa Landers, and Cecy Robson. I foresee bright and beautiful futures for all.

I’m so thankful for my family and friends who have supported me over the years. Special thanks to my mom, Pamela Flower, who never tires of reading my work—even the roughest of first drafts.

And finally, I want to thank my heavenly Father for allowing wishes made by a shy eleven-year-old girl to come true.
