Dear Reader,

Oh, what a tangled eave…when first we plot a book This story has gone through es and, recently, as I’ve written it As a result of the threads that needed to be woven and unwoven then rewoven in the telling of Erin and Sam’s story, I would like to take this time to send a deep and personal thank you to the wonderful Toni Kenyon for her assistance in alities of Erin and Saly, that situation inal New Zealand based setting to one on the shores of another lake I love, Lake Tahoe As a result of this move, I would like to send another deep and personal thank you to Alan Mazer for the US-based legal information provided Any mistakes in the story are very definitely my own
