Thank You!

First and foremost, my deepest thanks to my wife, Lori.

Through thick and thin — and over 34 years — you’ve been my rock. Thank you for your endless patience, your honesty, and for putting up with all the late hours. I couldn’t have done this without you.

To the Creative Writing Department at RWU — and especially Mr. Geoffrey Clark and Mr. Robert McRoberts:

Your guidance, critiques, and encouragement in my early work shaped the writer I’ve become. I’m forever grateful. In my eyes, you’re both rockstars.

To my sounding board — you gals rock.

Thanks for the lightning-fast reads and straight talk. I’ll do my best to write faster.

Gabe — you crushed that cover.

Thanks for your vision and your patience.

And to every reader who’s taken the time to share kind words:

You make this work brighter and more meaningful. Your feedback keeps us going.
