Into the Fire

With special thanks to:

Patrick Morgan: always a Marine, Police Officer, Detective, SWAT. He’s all that and more. How he helped me is beyond measurement. All mistakes, procedural or otherwise, are mine. I could not have written this novel without him.

Gary Bergsma, DVM

Debra Mairet: you’re special. In so many ways. Thank you.

B. K. Jackson, Brenda S. Anderson: thanks for major encouragement.

Sibella Giorello: writer extraordinaire, thank you.

Karin Kaufman: “Cozy Mystery Queen”, thank you.

Prayer and Perseverance Warriors: Jan Fischer, Debra Mairet, Debbie Anderson, Verna Sorlie, Brenda Anderson, YoYo, and all others who went to the Father on my behalf. So grateful.

Pastor Matt, thank you for the prophetic word that got me going again. You can’t know how much I needed it.

So, Lord, no words to tell you how deeply thankful I am. You keep me inspired. Apart from you, I can do nothing.

Thank you, Michael and Joseph for your love and encouragement. Love you so much.

Thank you, Donovan. Love you, son.

Aidan, fellow reader, love you.

These pages that begin or conclude a book generally don't mean a lot to a reader unfamiliar with an author's private life, but, for me, these are critical pages needed to give credit, recognition, appreciation, and love to all who contribute to the creative process. Truly can't thank these – named and unnamed – enough for their various participations. 

Always and ever, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you is never enough. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
