Dedication

A VERY SPECIAL THANK you to my parents, Don and Charlene Reason, for taking the time to go over our family history and to help in great detail with this particular book.

I also could not leave out my in-laws for taking time to help me as well. They helped me with the research of the Acadians and their travels from Nova Scotia to America, in particular to Louisiana.

Without the love and support of my family and friends, I would not have pursued this new path in life. I would especially like to thank those that have proofread copy after copy, to give me their honest opinion of the books.

Theresa, thank you so much for your continued encouragement. Without you, some of the characters would not have “come to life.”

To my wonderful husband Malwen, your continued love and support mean the world to me. I do not know what I would do without you in my life. One of these nights I am sure you will be able to sleep with both eyes closed. Eventually, I should run out of ideas... or maybe not. These books would not be what they are without you pushing me forward.

To Don Reason and Malcolm “Phil” Theriot for sharing your knowledge and experience of Law Enforcement protocol.

To my fans, I would like to offer a special thank you for your continued support.
