ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I’m so blessed to belong to the amazing Thomas Nelson dream team! I’ve been with my great fiction publishing house for fourteen years, and it’s been such an inspiring time as I’ve learned more and more about the writing process from my terrific team. I’m blessed to work closely with my editor, Amanda Bostic, and publisher, Daisy Hutton. They are both dear to my heart and have taught me so much!
Marketing director Paul Fisher is my go-to guy for marketing ideas and has such a great grasp of how to get my books in front of new readers. Kristen Golden (Goldie) took over helping me with promotion and has fabulous ideas. Plus I just love her eidetic memory. Fabulous cover guru Kristen Ingebretson works hard to create the perfect cover—and does. You rock, Kristen! And, of course, I can’t forget the other friends in my amazing fiction family: Becky Monds, Jodi Hughes, Karli Jackson, Samantha Buck, Stephen Tindal, and Becky Philpott. You are all such a big part of my life. I wish I could name all the great folks at Thomas Nelson who work on selling my books through different venues. I’m truly blessed!
Julee Schwarzburg is a dream editor to work with. She totally gets romantic suspense, and our partnership is pure joy. She brought some terrific ideas to the table with this book—as always!
My agent, Karen Solem, has helped shape my career in many ways, and that includes kicking an idea to the curb when necessary. And my critique partner, Denise Hunter, is the best sounding board ever. Thanks, friends!
I’m so grateful for my husband, Dave, who carts me around from city to city, washes towels, and chases down dinner without complaint. My kids, Dave and Kara (and now Donna and Mark), and my grandsons, James and Jorden Packer, love and support me in every way possible, and my little Alexa makes every day a joy. She’s talking like a grown-up now, and having her spend the night is more fun than I can tell you. And you know how I love coffee! My son-in-law, Mark, has a coffee-roasting business now, CaptainDavysCoffeeRoaster.com, and he sends me the most fabulous IR roasted coffee. You’ll notice my characters drink it!
Most important, I give my thanks to God, who has opened such amazing doors for me and makes the journey a golden one.
