For Bretaigne E. Black, college teammate, instigator of toga
wedding showers, organizer of "wine & sign" book signings,
and dear, dear friend.
Don't know what I'd do without my Bebs.
My deepest thanks go out to three amazing ladies and very talented authors: Gena Showalter for all her incredible support, Caro Carson for always being there for me in a pinch, and Barbara Ankrum for her eagle-eyed critiques and encouragement. And thank you to Richard, my wonderful husband, for confirming the times of sunrises and sunsets all over the globe and for verifying the travel and transportation logistics in this book.
