  I’m blessed with an amazing family whose lives are full of the wonderful and weird. Special thanks go out to my niece Lydia and my nephew, MacGreagor. They allowed me to liberate the incident of the mouse fart and Froggy from their original circumstances and twist them for use by a little girl named Amelia.

  Lark. What can I say? Even with my devious, creative mind, never in a million years could I have come up with the story about the green Army men heads. Truth is stranger than fiction, indeed. Thank you for that bizarre tidbit and letting me incorporate it into Cass’s childhood.

  Jerry, o brother of mine, your advice on how a badly abused leg would heal and the various devices with which I could torture Mitch during his recovery was fantastic. As was your repeated demonstration (without actual bullets, thankfully) of what could happen if Cass was shot in the shoulder. She was, and hopefully, I’ve done your explanations justice. If not, the fault and any errors about the medical stuff and anatomy are entirely mine. And Terry, o other brother of mine, thanks for your help with my questions about handguns. Yes, yes, any screw-ups with the weapons are mine alone. Both of you, stop laughing like that. You’ll get a hernia.

  As for you, Kathy Shelton, it’s been an absolute delight to work with you. Your candor and eye for detail have made this a much stronger read. I can’t wait to finish the next book just to hear what you have to say.

  And to Lillian, thank you so much for pointing out my errors regarding twelve-step programs. You are a strong, courageous woman, and I thank you for making contact and letting me know where I’d gone wrong. You’re the kind of reader every writer longs for, and I’m so glad to know you.

  Many, many thanks to those who read the first Cass Elliot novel, The Devil of Light, and waited with much impatience for the second book. Your pushing and shoving and encouragement have kept me going, and I appreciate you greatly.

  For you brave souls who have picked up this book by an unfamiliar author, you have my sincere gratitude. Diving into a world created by an unknown author can be a bit scary. I appreciate your willingness to risk your hard-earned cash on a book of mine and hope you’ve enjoyed reading Avengers of Blood as much as I enjoyed writing it. I can’t wait to see what terror reigns down on Forney County next.

  If you’d like to know more about the real-life events that led me down the path to Avengers of Blood, check out this blog post: Genesis of a Novel: The Horrific Death of James Byrd Jr.
