My husband, Mike Johnston, writes books too, and has been a huge part of mine, and is always there for the cackling and the kvetching. Both my parents were huge readers who always bought me any book I ever wanted from the bookstore. Every book I write is for my daughter, Mattea. Thank you to my readers!
