Polly Iyer - Diana Racine 03 - Backlash (38 page)

Acknowledgments

To my good friend, brilliant critique partner, grammarian, and outstanding author, Ellis Vidler, for her constant support, encouragement, and generosity. She’s forgotten more about writing than I’ll know in my lifetime. To versatile and talented author, Maggie Toussaint, for critiques that strengthen my stories and point out what I fail to see. To terrific suspense author, Peg Brantley, for being the first to read the finished manuscript. She caught goofs aplenty but gave me a thumbs up that I badly needed. To writer E.B. Davis, for her support over the years and critiques I always value. To John W. Kurtze, who offered to read
Backlash
and found a glaring error. Thankfully, that didn't stop his great review even before the book was published. I'm indebted to you, Mr. Kurtze.

Backlash
was my most difficult book to write because it was the third book in the series. I hope I haven't let down readers who enjoyed the first two books.

Thank you all
