Red-Caped Hero Thanks
to Mr. Thomas Grandy, my high school creative writing teacher. Because of you, I kept on believing in myself all these many long years.
and to Linda Partlow. Not all friends are created equal, but writing friends are the best kind. You not only read but offered support, critiques, sarcasm, witty ridicule (whether or not I deserved it), and the occasional “now-I-really-think-you’re-weird” shrugs. How cool is that?
Java-n-Chocolate Thanks
to my writing group, the Ohio Writers Network. Michelle, Laura, Melissa, Rachel, Emily, Faith, and Lisa. This bunch is so cool they even have a mascot….
Margarita Thanks
to my editor, Paula Guran.
Where’s my thimbleful? José!
Howling Thanks
to Jim Lewis. You love me exactly as I am. Wow.
Reverent Gratitude
to my Muse who has many names.
