Flirting with Felicity (24 page)

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

No book is ever written in seclusion, and this book is
no exception. I am so grateful to Pamela Bradburn, Teresa DesJardien, Karen
Harbaugh, Ann Charles, and Joleen James for cheering me on, sharing advice, and
reading the early drafts. You are all so special to me, and I don’t know what I
would do without you.

A special thank you to Nancy Northcott for sharing
her legal knowledge with me at random odd hours of the day and night, and to
the staff at the Regency Newcastle. I’ve learned so much from you all about
what quality assisted living can do to celebrate the sunset years of life.

Special appreciation also goes to my Amazon Montlake
team, especially Kelli Martin, Maria Gomez, and Krista Stroever. Thank you from
the bottom of my heart for sharing your time, talents, and enthusiasm for this
story. You all push me to be a better writer, and for that I am grateful.
