Acknowledgments
Angel Dance required a great deal of research and specialized information, which I was fortunate to obtain through the efforts of the following people.
To my friend Phil Johnson, for setting me straight on high school athletics in Washington State. I am now clear on the differences between “cross-country” and “track.”
To Officer Tony Falso of the Mukilteo Police Department, for his detailed critique of the police procedures used throughout the story. Any remaining procedural errors are mine alone.
To Gabe Robinson, for helping to identify and bring out the real story hidden in the jumble of words that was my original effort.
To Brynn Warriner and Carrie Wicks, for helping me take what I (mistakenly) hoped was a finished manuscript to a manuscript that now really is finished—a humbling but necessary experience. Brynn and Carrie both work in Seattle; they also provided sound advice and assistance on specifics of the novel’s Seattle setting.
To Ellen Johnson, Jennifer Norton, Liz Spiller, and Rebecca Eli, for reading early versions of Angel Dance and providing valuable feedback.
Finally, to my wife Michelle, for her constant support in this and all my other endeavors.

About the Author
M.D. Grayson is the author of Angel Dance – the first of the Danny Logan mystery series. He lives on an island near Seattle with his wife Michelle and their three German shepherds.
Before becoming a full-time writer, Mr. Grayson worked in the construction industry, as an accountant for six l-o-n-g weeks (square peg-round hole), and as a piano player on the Las Vegas strip. When he’s not writing, he loves zooming about on two wheels-bicycles and motorcycles alike. In addition, he’s a pilot, a boater, and an accomplished musician who’s always ready for a jam session!
