The Georgia Series Collection

Chapter 4

This book took many years to write. I suppose you could say life got in the way, but realistically, it was probably because I stood in front of myself.

My acknowledgements must start with Meegan Walker, a young, intelligent woman working on her master’s degree who took the time to read my first draft and offer an honest critique. Her encouragement set the path for my continued writing of the book.

A big thank you to my readers, Pamela Gregorchuk, Pamela Hartman, Anne Marsh, Carolann Glover McGillivray, Darcy Paterson, Mavis Rogers, and Norma Thompson who all found a part of themselves in Georgia Charles.

Thanks to Diane McIntosh of Bright Ideas Design and author, Susan Juby, for teaching me how to pitch a story.

To my fellow writers, for their creative and emotional support, Carol Ann Higgins Cajigas, Irene Kueh, Patricia Puddle, Chrissy Peebles, and Jayde Scott.

Of note, my husband Dennis, for his shoulder massages when I spent too many hours at the keyboard and for having the courage to tell me when I could improve a scene. I value his creative input and his belief in me.

To all the teachers in my life, living and ethereal, especially Carol Kozevnikov, where my journey to self began.
