Always Have Hope (Emerson Book 3) (27 page)

I
walked a fine line with the historical accuracy of England’s legal system,
opting more for the “it’s kind of like that” school of thought. My goal was to
give you a general idea of what trials and the Old Bailey were like, without
making this “Law and Order: Old Bailey.” If you’d like to learn more about it,
I highly recommend the website
www.oldbaileyonline.org
.

As always, my heartfelt thanks to my amazing editor
Melanie Friedman, who has a terrific ear and eye for story. She also writes an
awesome blog. Check her out at Bookworm2bookworm.wordpress.com.

And huge thanks for the ongoing support of Janice
Minsberg, Amal Chaaban, Anabel Vazquez and Linda Thurmond DeCristofaro.

Jennifer Omner at Allpublications.com did another
amazing cover and makes this so much fun.

As always, thank you to my mom, who made me a reader
and a writer. She has given me a lifetime of love and encouragement.

I hope you liked the third installment of the Emerson
series. Nick’s story is next.

Thank you to all of you for being so supportive.
Please take the time to pursue your own dreams. They are within reach. You
just have to keep moving forward.
