Читать книгу His Mistletoe Family - Ruth Logan Herne - Страница 8

This book is dedicated to LuAnn and Charlie Koch, dear friends who shared so much with so many.

God certainly blessed me when he put you guys

in my life over thirty years ago. Your love for God and Allegany County fed mine.

And to Melissa Endlich,

whose ongoing advice, humor and guidance

blesses each and every book I write, even though the image of a non-coffee-drinking NYC editor

just seems wrong. So wrong!

Acknowledgments

First to LuAnn and Charlie for the stories they shared. To Dana Guinnip of Angelica, New York,

for his advice on firefighting, chicken and biscuits and where to stage an accident scene.

To The Seekers (www.seekerville.blogspot.com) for their constant support and encouragement. You guys keep me laughing and grounded. To Tina and Mary for road-tripping with me when so few dare! To Deb Giusti for always answering my military questions and never acting tired. To Homer Marple for establishing the Craft and Antique Co-op. His vision inspired “Bennington Station.” To Vince, who is never afraid to challenge me, and I love a good challenge. To Beth and Mandy for their continued hands-on help with little things that make me look way smoother than I am. And my family, who continue to believe that following your dream is the best way to go. I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for the daily encouragement, the hugs, the grins and the book sales. You guys mean the world to me.
