The Lost Season of Love and Snow
Page 30
Writing can feel like offering your heart to the world. I appreciate the endless support and good humor of the Sacramento Area branch of the Historical Novel Society, including Erika Mailman, Erin Lindsay McCabe, Mark Wiederanders, Erika MacDonald, Anna-Marie McLemore, Gini Grossenbacher, Kathy Boyd Fellure, Marcia Calvin, and Ed Moore. I would also like to thank my family—Jon, Karen, Brett, and Liz—who are always there to pick me up, brush me off, and get me back in the game.
