8 Sweet Payback (24 page)
As
always, my undying gratitude goes to those who have helped make my books and
both of my series a reality:
Dan Shelton,
my partner in all adventures, who is always there for me, working to keep the
place running efficiently while I am locked away at my keyboard. My fantastic
editing team—Susan Slater, Shirley Shaw, and proofreader Kim Clark—each of you
has suggested things that help me see something new in my writing. My daughter,
Stephanie, you are a huge inspiration to me and I think we will do great things
together. And especially to you, my readers—I cherish our connection through
these stories.
Thank
you, everyone!
