Changing the Rules (Richter Book 1)(95)

Thanks to my editor, Holly Ingraham, for helping me put this book into fighting shape.

To Jane Dystel, who is always the first one to read my work and champion every single book I write. Thank you.

Thank you, Jeanie Pugh, for just happening to be watching the sunset as I walked by with my plot all twisted in my head. Your suggestion to look up some of the case studies in San Diego on this subject helped me see the light. For all the kids I know you help in your position as a high school VP, thank you.

Now to the graduates I’ve dedicated this book to.

I wrote this story during the global pandemic of COVID-19. It wasn’t until I was finishing my edits that I realized I had to dedicate this work to every graduate in the class of 2020. It’s been such a crying shame to watch high school seniors miss all the things one looks for in their last year of school. No prom, no sports, no class party or events. And certainly no graduation.

I also want to acknowledge the college graduates, who may have missed out on fewer of those iconic events, but certainly didn’t get the satisfaction of walking on a stage to receive a well-deserved degree.

Congratulations, graduates!

May your futures be filled with happiness, health, and success in all you do.
