Читать книгу The Truth about Family - Kimberly Meter Van - Страница 5

To my husband, John, for ten-second kisses,

our three beautiful children and

everything in between.

To Kamrin for being my dedicated reader – you

never let me down, no matter how

inconvenient the request.

To my parents for always believing I had the talent

to achieve my loftiest aspirations.

To Trudy and Kevin for always being the

wonderful people you are.

To my mentor Debra Salonen for believing I

had what it took to be a “Super” author, and my

critique partner Theresa Ragan for being brutal.

To all the other friends and family (you know

who you are) that are too numerous to mention

individually but without whose constant

encouragement I might have failed.

To my editor Johanna Raisanen for showing me in

the kindest way possible how to make a good story

even better than I imagined.

And, finally, to my grandmothers. Pat – for passing

on the dream; and Doris – for cookies

and homemade pickles…

I love you both immeasurably.

Special thanks:

Special thanks must go to Detective Sergeant

Michael Eggener with the Oakdale Police

Department for his invaluable advice on the inner workings of a real police station. Any deviations

from correct procedure are completely my own

and no reflection on the professionalism exhibited

by most law enforcement agencies.
