Acknowledgements

A ton of appreciation to my husband, Steve Wheeler, for your keen eye, patience, unconditional love, and steadfast belief in CHACO. Thank you to the Hemet Writing Group. Best critique group ever. Big hug to my one-time agent, and still good friend, Chila Bradshaw Woychik, for wonderful editing on an earlier version, and most of all, for loving this book and taking a chance on me.

Thank you Marylou Knapik for proofing the first seven chapters of the re-write. Thanks, Kathleen Saubrbrei for taking a peek, and making a suggestion that made me rethink the entire first page. Also, many thanks Michael Gonzales for your tremendous help on the introduction.

Gratitude to my long-time friend, Frank Ivan, for taking time from your gnarly schedule to beta read CHACO, for your astute observations, and great feedback. Your suggestions on the science sent me back to the heliophysics sites for additional research, which made the story so much better.

And…a bucket of gratitude to Gwen Gades with Dragon Moon Press, my publisher.

For the love of my life, my best friend, and my most ardent supporter, Steven D. Wheeler.
