  Acknowledgments

  Here’s another attempt at me keeping it short and sweet on the Acknowledgments page.

  Thank you to my husband. You brainstorm, edit, format, and so much more. I’m one hell of a lucky woman!

  I also want to thank the following awesome people:

  My kick-butt team of first and second-draft readers, my A+ editor, and my fast and furious beta readers. You all have helped make this book a wild and wonderful adventure for other readers.

  My kids for keeping me motivated to get the book done so we could go have some fun.

  Mimi “The Grammar Chick” (my editor), and Marguerite Phipps (assistant editor), who both make my words sparkle.

  My brother, Charles (C.S.) Kunkle (cover artist and illustrator) for drawing the creepy stuff, and his wife, Stephanie, for knowing what scenes would be cool to have illustrated.

  Sharon Benton (cover graphic artist) for keeping in touch and helping even while in Poland.

  My publicists and promoters—my mom and brother (Margo Taylor and Dave Taylor), my aunt (Judy Routt), and my sister (Laura Rensberger). Without your help, I’d still be in the corner talking to myself with weird voices.

  Wendy Gildersleeve for talking me off ledges, making sure I keep readers posted on what’s going on, and enjoying sunny Arizona mornings with me.

  Diane Garland for her love of spreadsheets and timelines.

  Crazy-eyed Jack Elam (from Rio Lobo) for inspiring me to include a sawed-off, double-barreled shotgun in this book.

  Jacquie Rogers, Amber Scott, Gerri Russell, and Joleen James for being there to pick me up and dust me off every time I fall.

  My family, previous coworkers, and Facebook and Twitter friends. You guys always put a smile on my face!

  My brother, Clint Taylor, for saying the craziest stuff online about his affection for the female gender. You keep me laughing.
