Thank you to my awesome f*******: friends who spent a night brainstorming various ‘jobs’ that Cheyenne could hold. I thought about making her a drywaller, but then decided that wasn’t quite right. Ha! Thanks for keeping it real and helping me out with suggestions and helping to make my characters “real.”
To Phyllis, my inspiration and model for 911 operators everywhere. Thank you for all your do. Thank you for suffering through your own kind of PTSD. While I’ve never been there, anyone who has ever had to call 911 to get help, thanks you and is thankful you were there to help them.
For Cathy, Celeste, Beth, Phyllis, Karen, Wendy, Alicia, Mickey, Chris, Mandy and all my other LGBT friends and readers…keep on keepin’ on.
