Wishes in the Wind (47 page)

Kane’s publication party and her first book signing for the release of
My Heart’s Desire
in 1991.

Kane’s original New Jersey Romance Writers team; she was first conference chair and then president of the organization.

T
O THOSE PEOPLE WHO
rode the tidal wave of deadline with me, each in their own incomparable way:

Pat, whose emotional support defies words.

Laura, whose encouraging countdown calls made my telephone answering machine a friend rather than a foe.

Helen, who researched obscure historical facts on a moment’s notice and has yet to be unnerved by my urgency or to come up empty-handed.

Lisa, whose equestrian knowledge was surpassed only by her consummate faith and friendship.

Plunk, who reads each book as if it were her own and demands
almost
as much of me as I do of myself.

And most of all, to my family, who withstood the grueling weeks of absenteeism, exhaustion, and tension, and who ultimately cheered beside me when Nicole and Dustin’s story turned out to be all I prayed it would be.

My thanks to you all.
