Thank you, Kevin. The acknowledgements of my book thanks most of the people mentioned here though I didn’t go back to organizations in the acknowledgements and I didn’t tell the detailed story of how everyone helped.

Helen,
It is humbling to realize how many people had a part in this book.I don’t know if every author has this much help, but I know all have a lot more help than most people realize.

Wow, Lillie, it’s amazing to read your list of those to thank. We always think of writers as working alone in their office, but it’s an eye-opener to read a list like yours. I’m glad you took time to write it up. (And thanks for the mention of the really small part I played.)

Gel,
I’m glad you enjoyed reading about my road to publication and some of the many people who helped make the book a reality.

Charlotte,
There are so many people, like the lady from Sprint who helped you. I’ve always considered myself pretty independent. However, there’s no way I could have done this alone.

I’m glad you like the cover. You can read the story of the cover next Tuesday on my blog tour stop at Dark Phantom Reviews.

Lillie,

You are so right – it takes a village:-). Somewhere halfway through our first novel, Mark and I started keeping a list of people we wanted to give copies to if we ever managed to get the novel published. I remember being very upset because I couldn’t find the name of the lady at Sprint who spent an hour on the phone with us answering all our questions about tracing cell phone calls to a physical location.

Dream or Destiny sounds facinating and I love the cover.

What a lovely tribute to those who have helped you in so many different ways. I enjoyed reading your publication “road.”
Best wishes,
Gel
