Acknowledgments

 

I couldn’t have written this book without my amazing brother, Brad, and his incredible mind. This one is for you, big brother! Thanks also to my mom, Donna, my niece, Katy-bug, my sister, Sandy, and my sister-in-law, Beth, who either read the manuscript, kept me on track, or put up with endless discussions on plot twists and scenarios. Lucas and Alexander, thank you, too, my sweet kiddos, for putting up with me and eating leftovers when deadlines were looming.

 

Huge thanks also go to Sandra Herndon Ross, who is a wonderful virtual assistant and keeps me in line and organized (thank goodness). Also, to all the amazing, caring, and awesome members of my Facebook Readers Club—you guys are the ABSOLUTE best!

 

Kudos to my excellent cover artist, Su at Earthly Charms; my terrific copy editor, Sara Brady; the fantastic formatter, Amy Atwell; and last, but in no way least, my wonderful editor Alissa Davis.

 

It truly does take a village. I couldn’t have done it without any of you! oxo
