Читать книгу Harvest Moon - Sharon Struth - Страница 6

Never did I dream that when my first essay was published, six years later I’d be writing words of appreciation for my third novel. One word keeps playing in my mind as I consider my journey. Thankful.

There are so many people to thank for this book and my entire journey. I’ll start with Dawn Dowdle of the Blue Ridge Literary Agency, my fabulous agent, who works tirelessly for her authors and has given all of us a family-like atmosphere at her agency.

Thank you to Kensington Publishing/Lyrical press for believing in my series, bringing to life the town of Northbridge and all the great fictional folks who live there. A special nod of gratitude to my editor, Paige Christian, whose editing eyes are a saving grace.

To my adorable husband, your support goes a long way, baby! A thousand thanks!

To my mother…you are the best salesman an author could ask for.

To Linda Chiara, your encouragement made me believe in myself and I cannot thank you enough.

To Terri-Lynne DeFino, thank you for your friendship, being there when I need you, and your honest advice on this novel.

To my wonderful critique partner, Rachel Brimble, thanks for all the insights that helped this novel come to life and Diane Rondeau Bator for all the insghts on self-defense and your beta read of the book.

To my RWA Chapter—the best group of friends a writer could ask for.

And close friends…your constant support is immeasurable.
