Kira's Secret

  Acknowledgements

  As always, my husband David Sims deserves my deepest gratitude for standing by me and acknowledging that for me, writing is not a choice. In that endeavour, my wonderful Wild Women Writing group, Beth, Dianne, Kathleen, Laurie, Liza, Margie and Yvette are always ready with their encouragement and support. I wish to thank Sheri Hodds and Laurie Brinklow for their thoughtful editing.

  And most important, a special call out to my lovely, lively niece Kira Dawydiak. She provided the inspiration, and planted the story seeds that blossomed into a full adventure.
