Writing may be a solitary adventure but no book comes to life without a lot of help. First and foremost to my wonderful dedicated beta reader, Margie Hager. Huge thanks to my friend and writing partner, bestselling author Cerise Deland. Where would I be without our intense brainstorming sessions? And finally to my children who put up with my frantic craziness as deadlines near and talk me down off the ledge. I love you all.
