Acknowledgments

As always, I want to thank my agent, Dawn Dowdle at Blue Ridge Literary Agency and my editor, John Scognamiglio for their faith and patience.

Thanks to my dad, Benjamin Burns, my sister, Jacquelyn Rucker, for the emotional support and many prayers. Thank you to my niece Jillian for the social media support and encouragement and thanks to my nephew, Christopher for the fashion advice.

I have been blessed with a number of friends who have supported me in so many ways, whether it was listening to crazy hair brained ideas, brainstorming plot ideas, or talking me off the ledge when things got too tough. Thanks Kellye Garrett for answering a million questions. Thank you to Debbie Bennett for the ideas and moral support. Thanks to my Seton Hill University Tribe, Anna, Alex, Lana, Michelle, Patricia, Jessica, Matt, Penny, Jeff, Dagmar, Kenya, Gina, and Crystal for the accountability and support. Thanks to Patton Musick for letting me know I wasn’t crazy and encouraging me to keep writing. Thanks to the Barnyardians (Jill, Lindsey, Chuck, Jamie, Stephen, Tim and our fearless leader, Sandy) for being so amazingly supportive. Thanks to Deborah Hughes, Tena Elkins, Jamie Medlin and Grace Dixon, best training team ever. There is no way this book would be finished without my two good friends, Shelitha Mckee and Sophia Muckerson. Thank you for always supporting me as I pursue my dream and pushing me forward toward new levels.

Thank you Dru Ann Love, Colleen Finn, and Karen Owen for the support and for everyone who has helped to share, and promote my books.

Special thanks to my wonderful friends at Echo Dog Club in Buchanan, Michigan for the encouragement and support throughout the years when I was training and competing with my poodles. If it wasn’t for the wonderful memories I have with ECHO, I wouldn’t have come up with the idea for the series.
