Acknowledgments
Writing by nature is a solitary business — but thankfully publishing is not! Without the help of so many wonderful people, I wouldn’t be able to do the work I love.
My thanks go to Angelika Offenwanger for her early readthrough and making sure I got off on the right foot before too much blood had been shed; my editor Robbi Bryant for taking my words and making them shine, and for catching those problematic spots before they grew roots; my British beta/proofreader Heather Belleguelle for her super-keen eye, not only for typos, but for the small story details that make such a big difference, and for her insights on all things English - I’m so glad you reached out!
Steven Novak for rocking the cover once again!
A shout out to Debbie Sessions and her blog The Vintage Dancer for her resource and expertise on the styles of the 1920s.
I would’ve drowned and probably have died if it weren’t for Shadi Bleiken signing up as my administrator/assistant. Alone I was a sinking ship, but together we’re sailing the high seas. So thankful for you!
Special thank you to Lisa Lockwood for her suggestion of Feather and Flair for the name of Ginger’s dress shop.
None of this would be worth it without the love and support of my family and friends. Big hugs and kisses to you all, especially Norm Strauss, Joel & Shadi, Levi, Jordan & Diana, and Tasia Strauss, Gene and Lucille Franke, and my gals Lori Van Zyderveld, Donna Petch, Shawn Giesbrect, and Norine Stewart.
And as always, eternal gratitude to Jesus who continually shows me unconditional love and kindness.
