Читать книгу Strip - Delta Dupree - Страница 4

As one of the lucky souls to become published, I could easily fill pages with family and friends’ names who have offered help and encouragement to keep me from veering off the winding road to success. I’ll use the short list instead.

To the AAW ladies—Donnell, Julie, Marie—thank you for your genuine friendship, critiques, and gentle pushes when my writing slipped by the wayside. Pam and Stephanie, we’re all published now. Tell me we didn’t trudge down a long, muddy road to get to where we are. Longtime girlfriend Dianne read parts of my very first manuscript and loved it for some crazy reason. Luv ya, Di. And my good friend Liz gave that outside encouragement I will always treasure.

To my dad, my oldest brother, and my children, we’ve been through a lot over the years and we’ll enjoy many more together. Love you guys all the time.

Forever love to my romantic husband who stood by me when my pride nosedived. We’ll always soar together, hand in hand.

Most of all, I dedicate this book to Momma, who passed away in 1981, and my youngest brother, who followed her recently. Neither doubted I would find success in all endeavors. I miss you both terribly.
