To my writers groups-Sujata Massey, John Mann, Janice McLane, and Karen Diegmueller, in Baltimore, and Janet Benrey, Trish Marshall, Mary Ellen Hughes, Ray Flynt, Sherriel Mattingly, and Lyn Taylor, in Annapolis-for tough love.
To my amazing editor, Sarah Durand; her can-do assistant, Jeremy Cesarec; to my publicist, Danielle Bartlett, and everyone at Harper Collins who makes it such an incredibly supportive place for a mystery writer to be.
To my web diva and lunch buddy, Barbara Parker. Come see what Barbara can do at www.marciatalley.com.
To Marisa Young and James Cheevers, whose generous bids at charity auctions sponsored by Malice Domestic, Inc. and the Friends of the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra, respectively, bought them the right to be characters in this book.
And to Kate Charles and Deborah Crombie-Plot Fest Forever! And, when are we going to do another one?
