Читать книгу Deadline - Metsy Hingle - Страница 6

While writing this book, I relied on both the technical and emotional support of many people to bring it to fruition. Without them, I would have been lost. My heartfelt thanks go out to the following people for their help in bringing life to Deadline:

Valerie Gray, my editor and friend at MIRA Books, whose insight and help truly make me a better writer.

Dianne Moggy, Editorial Director of MIRA Books, for her trust in me and support.

Karen Solem, my agent, for her unending support.

The amazing MIRA staff, who continue to astound me with their support.

Sandra Brown, my dear friend, for her friendship, love and for allowing me to bounce my story ideas off her.

Hailey North, my dear friend and fellow writer, for her friendship, support and e-mails.

Bill Capo, TV investigative reporter for Channel 4 News in New Orleans, for his friendship and support, and for answering my questions about the inner workings of the newsroom.

Marilyn Shoemaker, my fan and researcher, for digging out all those tiny details that helped me create the town of Grady, Mississippi.

Bill Greenleaf, press communications specialist with the Mississippi Department of Corrections, for answering all my questions about the inner workings of the state prison systems.

A special thank-you goes to my children and family, whose love and support enable me to spin my tales of love, hope and happily-ever-after.

And, as always, to my husband, Jim, who is my love, my family and all things to me.
