There are always many people to thank when it comes to a project so large as writing a book. I'd like to say a special thanks to Nancy Fulda at www.AnthologyBuilder.com for her critique of the story "Roadkill." Her suggestions were better than gold. I'd also like to send a shout out to all the women on the Amazon Cozy and Comedy Forums--you know who you are. Thank you for your encouragement, kind words and stories. You are not only hilarious, you are wonderful people! The Town Drunk, the magazine where Haunting Clues was first published, is only an archive now, but I'd like to thank the editor, Brittany Marschalk, for publishing Haunting Clues. I'm happy to be including it here, but nothing quite matches the thrill of that first publication. And to my husband--because he's the thread that holds it all together.
