Acknowledgments

This book is the brainchild of the fabulous Liz Pelletier of Entangled Publishing and me. I love that Liz makes herself available to bounce plot bunnies around with her authors. It is a perk of writing for Entangled Publishing that I do not take for granted.

Nor do I take for granted the wonderful editors who helped me whip this story into its sassy shape. During the process of bringing this book to the public, I had the privilege of working with editors: Robin Haseltine, Lydia Sharp, and Liz Pelletier. They are each a gem. And I have nothing but deep admiration for my copy editor, Jessica Meigs.

A big shout out to cover artist, Elizabeth Turner Stokes, who designed the fun cover. I am a firm believer it should be on display at every brick-and-mortar bookstore if for no other reason than that the cover just begs to be fondled.

My fabulous agent, Ann Rose, deserves all the accolades for believing in me. When I’m having a rough day, I remind myself she finds my writing fabulously funny.

Then there are my writing buddies: Barbara Huddleston and Claudia Shelton. Via daily Zoom sessions, these ladies have talked me off more than one writing-related ledge during this past year and inspired me to write even on days the muse was not there. I don’t ever want to go back to a life where I don’t get to hang out with them Monday through Friday via Zoom.

And I need to thank my family for accepting me, quirks and all. They cheer me on every step of the way.

And lastly, I’d like to thank my writing angels who hang out with me during every writing session and help me come up with plot ideas.
