To the joy of my life, my husband and best friend John, words can't express how I feel. Surprising for an author, huh? Oftentimes, I don't know where I leave off and you begin. You are truly my better half.

Special thanks to Dana Taylor, who has always been a believer, even when I had my doubts. And to my dear friend Katie Kuhne, who always has my back. One day, Kates, we're gonna have to meet. And with every story comes plenty of research. For things I enhanced for the sake of fiction, no one is accountable except me. But for everything I got right, special gratitude to the police department of the City of Edmond, Oklahoma, for the training I received as part of the Citizen's Police Academy, a wonderful program conducted by Lieutenant Cleo Land, a role model and real life hero. (When he reads this, he'll blush as red as his hair.)

Last, but certainly not least, I'd like to express special thanks to my agent, Meredith Bernstein, for believing in my talent. And I'd also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my discerning editor, Lucia Macro, who took a chance on an unknown and still has a sense of humor about it.
