About the Author

Acknowledgments

T
HERE ARE MANY PEOPLE
who help complete a novel. Some aren't necessarily involved in the writing and editing process but are very important in keeping the author sane. Thanks to my husband, James, for doing all you can to keep me on track and helping out so much so I can finish my books. Also, Greg Johnson—trusted friend, agent, and mentor—for keeping me back from the cliff's edge, particularly in January 2013.
