Many thanks go to my editors, Angelika Offenwanger and Robbi Brandt, and to my early readers, especially Caroline Andrews for helping me get young Scout’s slang and accent right, and Heather Belleguelle for helping me nab those errant typo gremlins, and stay true to the era and British culture.

A big shout-out to my review crew for keeping the reviews coming, and to my Facebook readers’ group for reading my books and hanging out with me online.

I don’t know how I did it before Shadi Bleiken came onboard as my assistant—hugs and kisses to you!

As always, love to my family, especially my husband, Norm Strauss, for his unwavering faith in me, and to my “regulars”: Lori, Donna, Shawn, and Norine.
