I could not have brought this book to completion without …
My husband Thomas - You believed in this book from the beginning. Thanks for cheering me on so patiently – and for building the website - and for doing all the research work necessary. You are my hero!
John Boyle – prophet, friend and counselor. You saw this book long before I had eyes of faith!
Debbie Hubbard – Thank you for your love and support of Mike through the process! Thank you for your warm hospitality on writing visits, your love of the grandkids, and your faithfulness.
Bob Fullilove – Bless you for your eye for detail and your questions which made the book much stronger!
Grace Brydon – Thank you for reading the manuscript, catching my typos, and adding several commas. This is the least of your gifts, but I am grateful for it!
Inksnatcher / Sally Hanan - You are a great resource for writers interested in self-publishing! I love the layout of the book.
Ivana Mijalkovich, cover design - Thank you for producing so many renditions of your art until I settled on the right feel.
John Michael and Diane Wall - Though he passed before I finished the manuscript, John Michael read many early versions of several chapters! Thank you, John Michael and Diane, for your investment in the book in the form of writing retreats, eager reading, and meals!
Caroline – Along the way, you shared with me one very exciting retreat! – and one very boring one. Thanks for being my friend in all seasons.
My Kids – Thank you for putting up with years of distraction while I was writing. I love you more than I can say.
Finally, thank you, Mom and Dad, for walking this road with me.
I love and miss you both!
OK … Amy did actually write the acknowledgments. Would’ve been pretty sketchy if I had written those! (Especially with all the praise lavished on me LOL.)
But … especially if you’ve read far enough in the book to reach this point (!), I don’t mind making once again the shameless plug - if you haven’t already, would you be willing to put a review on Amazon?

Thank you so much for reading Runaway Bay!
