Acknowledgment:
Thanks to Jeff Adkins for another great cover, and to Liz Bachmann for the editing. It’s a pleasure to work with them.
Thanks also to Tisha for telling me about green apple jolly ranchers, for reading this, along with Anita Guerrero Dockery, in its various incarnations, and to Tim Mead for putting on his professor’s cap in order to keep me on the straight and narrow when it came to grammar.
And to Gail Morse, who was there from the very beginning and whose enthusiasm helped make this a pleasure to write... thank you more than I can say, chere amie.
