Suicide By Death

DEDICATION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT For my sister and niece: young voices silenced way too soon. Also, to my wife, who taught me bravery and survival. I also wanted to thank a few others. Thanks to Donna G Omo, MA, MFT, RAS for her help with details of the therapeutic scenes in the book. Donna has thirty years' counseling experience and is a licensed marriage and family therapist. Donna is also a registered addiction specialist. Bill Barnier has been a friend and cheerleader who stepped in for a final round of editing. His honesty and forthrightness helped tighten up the book. Bill is a columnist and free-lance editor. To round out the list, my lead editor, Carla Michale Clark. Carla helped give my main character a voice, and in a weird way, the two became friends, and in her words, “If Clair can do it, so can I.” She also wrote the Epilogue for the book… please read it. Carla is an award-winning journalist and free-lance editor.
