I have so many people I want to thank. First, my first writers’ group, Deadline for Writers. Without them, especially Becky Crookham, critiquing my short stories, I know my writing journey would not have gotten this far. Cheryl Gilmore for understanding the struggles of a writer and being my friend. Ellie Alexander, you helped improve my manuscript and showed me what it means to be a cozy writer. Thank you Megan Gaudino for editing my story. You made it so much better. And a tremendous shout out to my husband. You read almost everything I’d written. You corrected my simple mistakes and then some. I appreciated your honesty because sometimes my ideas sounded better in my head than what I wrote. Another thanks to my two amazing kids. They remind me that I need breaks and it"s fun. Lastly, thank you Next Chapter for taking a chance on me.
