ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Special thanks go to:
My readers! Please let me hear what you think by posting a brief review. Indie writers depend upon reviews because we don’t have the big budgets of large publishing companies. And if you enjoyed this book and the other Sam Darling mysteries, please tell your friends.
My beta readers, Jan Bozarth Smith and Nikki Shields, who are great at pointing out typos and confusing sentences.
Patrice Fitzgerald, of eFitzgerald Publishing, who has given me encouragement and support throughout the writing of this book.
Richie Klauser for the use of his first name. Richie in the book bears no resemblance to the real-life Richie. The real guy is a runner and an athlete, the fictional Richie—not so much.
Joe Osier for cool ideas regarding Richie’s occupation in the book.
NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) for the impetus to write this third Sam Darling book.
Panera Bread of Quincy, Illinois, for allowing me to sit and write for hours. In the book, they’re called the Bread Company.
Toni Taylor of Tiger Imagery for permission to use her beautiful photograph as the basis for the cover photo.
Keri Knutson for her lovely cover, taking Toni’s photograph and turning it into exactly what I needed for this book.
Dan at Book Sends for expert formatting.
My own Game of Crones for giving me the inspiration for Julianne Harmon, “earrings to the ground and boobs to the sky.”
Gloria Rosenthal for the use of her lovely name.
The Housewife Writers for supporting me and accepting me even though I’m neither a house nor a wife.
Jerilyn Bozarth Dufresne is the oldest of nine, and that group gave her the inspiration for the Darling Family, although her sibs fight a lot more and have cornered the market on sarcasm. She returned to her hometown of Quincy, Illinois after having lived a nomadic middle part of her life. Currently she is a writer, an outpatient therapist at a local mental health clinic, and adjunct faculty at Quincy University. She and her dog Gus live with and are tolerated by two cats.
This is Jerilyn’s third Samantha Darling Mystery. Both Who Killed My Boss? and Any Meat in That Soup? are available at Amazon.com. Coming up in the spring will be her her fourth, Will You Marry Me?
She is also working on a stand-alone mystery—Reality Is Murder—and is collaborating with her publisher on a sci-fi book story based in Hugh Howey’s world of Wool.
