Acknowledgements
Most of Prairie Desire was written while I was convalescing before and immediately following massive reconstructive knee surgery. I am so grateful to my readers, neighbors, and friends who cooked, sent cards and words of encouragement! You helped me stay focused on healing and writing. My recovery will be long, but I’m on my way!
My sincerest thanks to the following authors who have so graciously given their time and wisdom to help me make Ben & Hope’s story shine. These women are talented story-tellers and if you don’t have their books on your reader yet, what are you waiting for? Genevieve Turner, Kait Nolan, Amity Lassiter, and D’Ann Lindun, you have my heartfelt gratitude.
To my mentor, author Kimberley Troutte (yes, go grab her books too!), thank you for everything. I feel like I write better every day because of your wisdom and encouragement.
To Amanda at Razzle Dazzle Designs – I love this cover so much! You captured Ben perfectly.
To Jenny & Kara – thank you for answering my emails at all hours, plying me with wine and brainstorming when necessary, and for being the best cheerleaders a writer could ask for.
Many thanks to D’Ann, Amity, Kathi, Teresa, and the ladies of the Posse who helped me understand the logistics and magic of natural horsemanship. You helped Hope come alive in the ring!
Lastly, to Mr. Cowboy, Teenager, and Tiny. I love you with all my heart, thank you for not being too annoyed on our long road trips when I plug in my headphones and write.
