obody writes alone. I’m more than grateful to the usual suspects for their encouragement and unflagging support in this endeavor.

First and foremost, my deep appreciation to those who helped refine the creation of
Storm Warned
: Sharon Stogner, Melody Guy, and Ron Silvester. Thanks for reading—and rereading—and re-rereading countless pages! Your suggestions were invaluable.

Thanks to my editor, Maria Gomez, for your enthusiasm and patience. Also, I feel very fortunate to have a fabulous author team at Montlake to whom I can turn with any question, and who do so much of the behind-the-scenes hard work of producing and marketing a book. You guys rock!

A shout out to my agent, Stephany Evans, for helping me get to this point in my writing career. Thanks for believing in me.

Love and hugs to Samantha Craig, who provided a veritable hotline of emotional support during the tough times, and to Jordan Craig, who gave me some great survival ideas that changed my perspective. Much love to Abby Craig for sharing suggestions and creative fun, and to Jaime Craig for cheering me on no matter what. I adore you all.

Meanwhile, there just aren’t enough words to express my thanks to my Alaskan mountain-man husband, Ronald Joe Silvester, who has endured several months of privation in the form of not only cooking for himself but voluntarily learning to process an explosion of garden produce. I’m certain he would far rather have wrestled a fifty-pound salmon with his bare hands and hauled home a bull moose by the nostrils, than peel a bumper crop of apples and slice up an unrelenting supply of tomatoes. Not only are you are my hero; you have the greatest heart of anyone I have ever known.
