More Than We Remember
Page 30
A big thank-you to the Benton County sheriff’s office, which let me ride along with one of their deputies. I discovered more than the answers I needed for this novel; I found a love for speeding down the highway.
Debi Friedlander graciously explained and demonstrated her colored pencil photo fusion art techniques. I first saw her work at an open studio event, and I knew right away that I wanted to bring this art form into a story. Thank you, Debi, for sharing your talent.
Thank you to my dear friend Pete Dunn, who should have the title of technical advisor and who never teases me about asking the same question over and over again. Thank you, Mari Bacho, for explaining a bit of your photography magic. Jen Cooper, thanks for giving me a better understanding of the paperwork side of counseling. I have truly talented friends.
Raela Schoenherr, thank you for believing in this project, believing in me, and welcoming me into the Baker/Bethany House family. I’m honored.
Rochelle Gloege, your keen eye and ability to see flaws in my timeline made this story what I had envisioned. Thank you!
I’m so amazed by Cynthia Ruchti. First, she was one of my favorite authors. Later, she became my agent. Now Cynthia is also a dear friend, a sounding board, a prayer warrior for my career and my family, and someone I respect, admire, and cherish. Thank you, Cynthia, for taking on this project, believing in me, and being the beautiful woman of God you are.
Thank you to my sister, Kaitlin, who reads anything I send to her, even when it’s unpolished, and tells me it’s better than I know it actually is.
Thanks to those dear women who take my work and tear it to pieces. Karen Barnett, Marilyn Rhoads, and Heidi Gaul are the best critique partners any writer could ever have.
Jodie Bailey, you are a blessing. You remind me regularly how to eat an elephant: one bite at a time. Thank you, sister.
And to all my friends, the ones who take my little ones so I can stay sane, go to conferences, and make deadlines, thank you for letting me be that friend who, for this season, needs more than she gives. Thank you for loving me even when I don’t respond to texts until they’re outdated, when I forget to return your dishes, and when I beg for help at the last moment. I’m so blessed to have you. You are my people, and I love you more than I can say.
