Читать книгу Ghosthunting Colorado - Kailyn Lamb - Страница 7

THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME EVER WRITING A BOOK, and like any great project, I learned that it takes a village to get things done. To the following I send my warmest thanks.

My first set of thanks goes to Michael O. Varhola, who decided I was a good candidate to write this book, and then constantly pushed me to get it done. I feel lucky every day to have been selected to be a part of the America’s Haunted Road Trip series, and he was instrumental in making that happen.

The Rocky Mountain Paranormal Research Society has been ghosthunting in Colorado for nearly two decades, which made them a wealth of information when searching for locations that may (or may not be) truly haunted. My thanks to them for letting me join in on a ghost tour of Capitol Hill, because even after two years of living there I had no idea that I was living across the street from the supposed most haunted buildings in Denver. In particular, Bryan Bonner let me pick his brain about locations, but also about what it means to be a ghosthunter.

To finish a book, you must have someone to publish it. Thanks to the staff at Clerisy Press for making this book happen. In particular I would like to thank Tim W. Jackson and Liliane Opsomer, who worked with me.

To the friends and family who acted as the first readers (and makeshift editors), I appreciate all the help and time you were willing to give. My mother, Janelle Pedigo, gave feedback on every chapter, and is as much in the book as I am. To the friends and family who supported me by preordering the book on Amazon months before it was set to be published, you have my eternal gratitude.

To my parents, both biological and not, thank you for pushing me toward a career that I love. To William Ryan for teaching me the joy of writing simply for the love of it. To Nicole Lamb for showing me that cooking and sharing a glass of wine is an excellent way to de-stress, and to Jeff Lamb for always being the logical one. It doesn’t sound like a compliment, but it means more to me than you will ever know.

Finally to William Fitzhugh for always being there to push me to get things finished, and for teaching me that hard work and dedication almost always pays off.

To anyone who I may have forgotten, I truly apologize and send my sincere thanks to you as well.
