I’ve got to be honest: the moment I realized I ready to finish this book and end the Delta Crossroads Trilogy, I cried. When I wrote Tin God, it was meant as a stand alone, but I loved the world I’d created so much the ideas kept coming. I wanted to live in Roselea for a while, and I’m so grateful I made that decision. I’ve learned so much about myself as a person and a writer, and I’ve made a lot of new friends and readers. Thank you for all of your amazing support!
Many thanks to the Natchez Historical Society, the Mississippi Historical Society, Shannon Pritchard (Old Southern Antiques), the Cedar Rapids fire department, and Dr. D.P. Lyle for their help in ensuring this book’s accuracy. Thanks to William Simon for his forensic computer expertise and his patience with my million questions.
Thank you to Melinda Vanlone at Book Cover Corner for helping me to understand the fine art of book covers and coming up for the outstanding treatment for the Delta Crossroads Trilogy.
Writing is a solitary endeavor unless someone is around to yank us out of our habitats, and I’m thankful for my circle of supportive friends. To my critique partner Catie Rhodes: your advice and guidance is invaluable. This trilogy absolutely wouldn’t have been finished without you. To my close friend Kristine Kelly: thanks for pushing me when I needed it the most, and for your editing savvy. Thanks to the ladies at misterio presss for their advice and marketing help, and to the great authors at the Indie Voice who so generously spend their time helping others to succeed.
To my small but mighty street team: you guys rock. Your enthusiasm for my writing is contagious, and it’s a big part of what fuels my day.
Words can’t express how grateful I am to my family for their support. No one has more faith in my writing than my mother, and I am thankful every day she is here to read it. Thanks to my dad for igniting my love of history, and special thanks to Rob and Grace for the sacrifice of allowing me to write. You’re my rock, and I love you both more than I can say.
