Showers of thanks go to old friends and new who have supported the launch of Elsie and the Ozarks mystery series. At Missouri State University, special thanks go to Dr. Patti Salinas, Kim Callahan, President Clif Smart, Dean Stephanie Bryant, Dr. Kent Ragan, and the wonderful students at Missouri State, especially my advisees in AKPsi (thank you Sarah D!).
My family has provided support in countless ways, from the legal expertise given by my brother John and sister Susie, to the editorial suggestions and encouragement from sisters Carol and Janice.
But above all, I must thank the three people who mean more to me than words can express: my beloved husband Randy, my precious Ben, my darling Martha. You are my rock and my salvation.
