ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A huge thanks to the whole team at Revell for all their hard work. I sure couldn’t do this without you!

Thank you, as always, to Dru Wells and Wayne Smith for your amazing feedback on all of the law enforcement details. I always do my best to make sure things are accurate. Any law enforcement errors are completely on the author’s shoulders. :)

Thank you to my family who always supports me—even when I’m pulling out my hair because time is going too fast!

Thank you to all of my lovely and talented critique buddies and prayer partners: Lynn H. Blackburn, Emme Gannon, Linda Gilden, Edie Melson, Alycia Morales, and Erynn Newman. Y’all are simply the best. Thank you for letting me do life with you.

A special thank-you to Jason Fort for answering tons of Police Procedural questions with accuracy, honesty, and lots of humor! I appreciate you!

I have to give a shout-out to my brainstorming buddy, DiAnn Mills. You have a wonderfully wicked mind. I love it and you, sister!

Another ginormous thanks goes to Carrie Stuart Parks. You simply have THE best ideas and I love picking your fascinating brain. Thanks for letting me!! I love you, my friend—even if you are a <gasp> plotter! :)

And last, but not least, thank you, Jesus, for allowing me to do what I do. I couldn’t do it without your blessing and you keeping your hands upon mine as I work each day. Thank you for the stories, thank you for the words, thank you for the lives you allow the books to touch.
