In loving memory of Melinda Helfer,
Romantic Times reviewer—a friend of mine,
and a friend of all romance. The first time I met
Melinda was at an RWA book signing years ago—
right after Prince Joe and Forever Blue had come
out. She rushed up to me, dropped to the floor
in front of my table and proceeded to kowtow!
She told me she loved those two books, and
couldn’t wait for the next installment in the
TALL, DARK & DANGEROUS series to be released.
She was funny, enthusiastic and amazingly
intelligent—a fierce and passionate fan of
all romance, and a good friend. Melinda,
this one’s for you. (But then again,
I think you probably knew that
all my TDD books were written for you!)
You will be missed.
