There are many great writers who suffered through this book with me. It’s not always easy to write a book and we rely on our friends and fellow writers to push us through when we need the extra motivation. I only hope I give enough back.

My special thanks go to Jessica Lee, Dee Carney and Lissa Matthews. They offer their ideas, critiques and extra support when I most need it.

Last and certainly not least I want to thank my editor. With her insightful comments and dedication to detail she makes my books much stronger.
