Her Mother’s Grave

Acknowledgements

As always, first and foremost, I must thank my amazing readers and faithful fans! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and passion, and for sticking with me on this wonderful journey. Thank you to my husband, Fred, and daughter, Morgan, for your infinite patience and unending encouragement. Thank you to Nancy S. Thompson, Dana Mason, and Katie Mettner—my first readers and some of the best writing friends an author could ever ask for! Thank you to my parents—William Regan, Donna House, Rusty House, Joyce Regan, and Julie House—for your constant support. Thank you to the following “usual suspects”—people in my life who support and encourage me, spread the word about my books, and generally keep me going: Carrie Butler, Ava McKittrick, Melissia McKittrick, Torese Hummel, Christine & Kevin Brock, Laura Aiello, Helen Conlen, Jean & Dennis Regan, Marilyn House, Tracy Dauphin, Michael Infinito Jr., Jeff O’Handley, Susan Sole, the Funk family, the Tralies family, the Conlen family, the Regan family, the House family, the McDowells, and the Kays. Thank you to Lilly Billarrial for the goody-goody line. Thank you to the lovely people at Table 25 for including me, encouraging me, and teaching me. You know who you are. I’d also like to thank all the lovely bloggers and reviewers who read the first two Josie Quinn books for taking a chance on my work and spreading the word!

Thank you so very much to Sgt. Jason Jay for answering all my law-enforcement questions so quickly and in such great detail that I can get things as close to authentic as fiction will allow.

As always, I must thank Jessie Botterill for her continued brilliance, patience, and faith in me, as well as the entire team at Bookouture. You are miracle-workers, all of you, and I feel so blessed and grateful to be working with you.
