      Dedication

      This is dedicated to my wonderful husband, Denton, who believes I am capable of great things.

      Congratulations and welcome. You’ve written a book or are about to complete one. Maybe you’ve written more than one. You should be proud of your hard work and determination to make this dream a reality. Friends and family who support your vision take joy in your accomplishment. Still, there is something missing.
