Acknowledgements
Readers first: Betsy Gill, Betsy Kittredge, Byron Tucker, John Garrels, and Amy Harren, who overcame her alone-in-the-woods fears to critique several versions. Thank you all. I am equally grateful to my publishing guru, Michael Selleck. Courtney Maum pitched in with special advice.

Any and all errors are, of course, on me.

Note from an Indie Author
In the long run, Kindle and the ebook craze did not destroy the printed book as was widely expected. When Amazon released its first e-reader twelve years ago, it sold out in five-and-a-half hours. I bought one. Instead what happened is that readers of mass market paperbacks, especially in genres like Romance and Mystery/Thrillers converted to reading on ebooks, and that decimated the sales of mass market paperbacks. Only the big-name, established authors - and I say this without rancor - find their books on the shelves in airports, supermarkets, and Walmart.
For indie authors to survive, we rely on reviews and word-of-mouth. If you enjoyed this story, please take a moment to leave a review and recommend my book to friends and family.
Thank you for reading.
