But I won’t.
Because they’ve helped me so much more with this book, and my appreciation for them and their help has grown so much more since then. Starting with my wife, Cindi. Many authors take the time to thank their spouses for their love and support and their willingness to sacrifice the needed time apart, so that the novel could be completed. I understand those sentiments and do thank Cindi for them as well. She is the love of my life and my greatest friend. But I must add my thanks for how much better this book is because of her input and suggestions. It’s almost as if I have the help of two gifted editors, not one.
Speaking of gifted editors . . . my thanks to Andrea Doering, my editor at Revell. You helped me with my first two books. You really helped me with The Deepest Waters. My readers now have, by far, a much better story than the one I originally sent you, because of your input and advice.
And thanks to Michele Misiak, Claudia Marsh, Donna Hausler, and the whole marketing/publicity team at Revell. What a joy it is to work with you behind the scenes. Thanks for all you do to get my books on the shelves and into readers’ hands. I want to thank Kristin Kornoelje for helping keep me on track and for all the wonderful little things you catch that nobody else sees.
A special thanks to Twila Bennett, Cheryl Van Andel, and the team responsible for the cover of this book. I loved my first two covers, but with this one . . . what can I say? You hit it out of the park! I’d love to hang it as a painting on my wall.
And finally, my thanks to Karen Solem, my literary agent and friend. I am in your debt and able to just relax and write because I’m always in such capable and caring hands. You’re simply the best.
