Acknowledgments
I absolutely could not have written this book without the assistance, handholding, and patience of a dear friend and fellow writer, Silver James, retired member of the fire service and law enforcement, who helped vet every reference to the hero’s career as a firefighter. Additional research and information came from retired firefighter Kristi Kobrin, who wandered into my yoga practice and kindly answered question after question and even took my phone calls. People who help writers do research are wonderful.
And shout out to the team! Kristi Yanta, the Picky Editor, went above and beyond with this one and I am convinced I cannot write a book without her. Much love to my copy editor Joyce Lamb, proofreader Marlene Engel, super-talented (patient and determined) cover artist Kim Killion, and hugs to James Franklin, a talented photographer who would not quit until we got the right silver fox on the cover. Also gratitude to formatter and all around miracle-worker, Amy Atwell. Behind the scenes, Maria Connor is an author assistant without equal and my Rocki Roadies (Roxanne St. Claire Street Team) bring it for every title. (Want to join the street team? We’re on Facebook and have tons of fun.)
