Author’s Foreword

From Desiree

Writing a book is a solitary experience but it never comes to the bookshelves, virtual or other, alone. For me it starts with my treasured friend and beta reader extraordinaire, Margie Hager, who has the best eagle eye in the world. Thank you, Margie my love, for all the hours you put in to help me bring my stories to life. And for your friendship, which is a highlight of my life. And to Janet Rodman who always looks out for me.

Then there is my family. Do they read my books? Absolutely not! But they are the best public relations team in the world. From my daughter Amy who tells all her clients about me to my son Steve who makes sure he lets everyone he knows when I have a book released to my younger daughter Suzanne who is my good right hand and my granddaughter Kayla who is my wonderful left hand. Guys, I could not do it without you. If you see me at a convention, Suzanne will not be far from my side.

My cats, of course, keep me company while I write, especially Bast who thinks she should get coauthor credit!

Thanks to all the people who answer my endless questions, from SEALs to Force Recon Marines to Delta Force soldiers to local law enforcement to sports experts. The time you continue to give me is very special.

Last but very far from least are all of you, my wonderful readers, who send me such great e-mails and posts and are so faithful. A special shout-out to Phuong Phen, Fedora Chen, Shirley Long, and Patricia Sager who have been with me since my journey started and in frustrating times give me the inspiration to push ahead.

I love you so much. You are my extended family and I send you all many hugs.

There are a lot more stories to come. Please stay tuned.

I love to hear from my readers. You can write to me at desireeholt@desireeholt.com and I hope you will do that.
