Читать книгу The Trouble with Murder - Kathy Krevat - Страница 7

Acknowledgments:

I’d like to thank Jessica Faust, my awesome agent for making my publishing dreams come true, and Tara Gavin, my wonderful editor, for saying “Yes” to Trouble and making this book so much better.

This book wouldn’t exist without the help of my critique group, the Denny’s Chicks: Barrie Summy and Kelly Hayes.

I would not be writing today if it wasn’t for the gentle editing of my first critique group, Betsy, Sandy Levin and the late Elizabeth Skrezyna.

I can never express the gratitude I feel toward all of the family and friends who support my writing career:

Pat Sultzbach, Lee Hegarty, Manny and Sandy Krevat, Donna and Brian Lowenthal, Patty Disandro, Jim Hegarty Jr., Michael and Noelle Hegarty, Matthew and Madhavi Krevat, Jeremy and Joclyn Krevat, Lynne and Tom Freeley, Lori and Murray Maloney, David Kreiss and Nasim Bavar, Lori Morse, Amy Bellefeuille, Sue Britt, Cathie Wier, Joanna Westreich, Susan O’Neill and the rest of the YaYa’s, my Mom’s Night Out group, and my book club.

A special shout out to Terrie Moran, author of the Read ‘em and Eat mystery series, for her friendship and encouragement, and to Dru Ann Love for her friendship and support of the cozy mystery community.

Special thanks to the following experts for unselfishly sharing their knowledge:

Sergeant Cathy Allister, San Diego Sheriff’s Department

Jim Hegarty for website and technical assistance

Katie Smith, NewRoad Foods

Stephenie Caughlin, Seabreeze Organic Farm

Olga Brumm, Animal Artistry Grooming

Dr. Susan Levy, for her medical knowledge

Judy Twigg, for being a typo-finding guru

Mountains of gratitude and love to my brilliant, beautiful and creative daughters, Devyn and Shaina Krevat, and to Lee Krevat, the love of my life!
