A Midwinter's Tail

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

As always, many people helped along the way as this book went from idea to reality. Lynn Viehl and Janet Koch provided encouragement and laughter. My agent, Kim Lionetti, shared her wisdom and support with good humor. Jessica Wade, my very talented editor, found all the leaps in logic in the story and, as usual, made the book better. Her very capable assistant, Isabel Farhi, kept us both on schedule. As he has since the Magical Cats Mysteries began, Tim Sletten, retired Red Wing, Minnesota, police chief, answered my questions and was a good sport when I twisted his answers to suit the story. And last but never least, Patrick and Lauren could both always be counted on for back rubs, coffee and lots of love.
