Saving Grace (Katie & Annalise Book 1) (33 page)

To Eric

(of course)

Huge thanks to my editor Meghan Pinson, who managed to keep my ego intact without sacrificing her editorial integrity. Thanks of generous proportions to my critique partners, without whose encouragement and honesty I would not be publishing this book. The biggest thanks go to my Crucians: husband Eric, friend Natalie, and house Annaly. They are the ones who inspired me to dream up stories in the islands. Eric gets an extra helping of thanks for plotting, critiquing, editing, listening, holding, encouraging, supporting, browbeating, and miscellaneous other roles, some of which aren’t appropriate for publication.

 Thanks also to princess of the universe Heidi Dorey for fantastic cover art. Heartfelt appreciation to Alayah for good eyes and a spirit of adventure.

Finally, to each and every blessed one of you who have read, reviewed, rated, and emailed/Facebooked/Tweeted/commented about my books, I appreciate you more than I can say. Stephanie, Rhonda, Liz, and Rebecca stand above the rest here. It is the readers who move mountains for me and for other authors, and I humbly ask for the honor of your honest reviews and recommendations.

Pamela Fagan Hutchins holds nothing back and writes award-winning and best-selling mysteries and hilarious nonfiction from Nowheresville, Texas, where she lives with her household hunks—husband, Eric, and their one-eyed Boston terrier, Petey—plus three rescue dogs, a herd of goats, a coupla cows, a flock of turkeys, and a peacock. She is the author of many books, including 
Saving Grace
, 
Leaving Annalise
,
 Finding Harmony
,
 Going for Kona,
 
Heaven to Betsy
, 
Earth to Emily, How To Screw Up Your Kids
,
 Hot Flashes and Half Ironmans
, and 
What Kind of Loser Indie Publishes?
 to name just a few. In 2014, just two years after publication of her first book, the 
Houston Press
 named her as one of the Top 10 Houston Authors.

Pamela spends her non-writing time as the Chair of the Board of the Houston Writers Guild, a writing coach, a workplace investigator, and as an employment attorney and human resources professional, and she is the co-founder of a human resources consulting company. You can often find her with her husband—and a few grown kids from their blended brood of five—hiking, running, bicycling, and enjoying the great outdoors.

If you’d like Pamela to speak to your book club, women’s club, or writers group, by Skype or in person, shoot her an email. She’s very likely to say yes.

You can buy Pamela’s e-books, audiobooks, and paperbacks at most online retailers. You can also get her paperbacks from “brick and mortar” stores. If you want a signed copy, contact SkipJack Publishing:
