Shamrock: A Linear Tactical Romantic Suspense Standalone Page 23


  As always, writing is never a lone endeavor.

  I am ever thankful to my family for putting up with my crazy when deadlines come along. I’d like to particularly thank my mother, who saw I was drowning under the weight of what I’d taken on, and basically came and took over all household and kitchen duties for weeks so I could finish.

  And she did it without making a big deal of it or taking any credit for herself. If that’s not the best mom a girl could ask for, I don’t know what is. Love you, Mimi.

  Again, my undying gratitude to my tribe: Marci, Girl Tyler, Anu, Stephanie, Regan, Nichole, Julie, Beth, Lissanne, Elizabeth. Thank you for the encouragement, the support, the tough love when needed. And Marci, for the best pillow ever—you are so special to me!

  Once again, to my editors and alpha readers: Elizabeth Nover, Jennifer at Mistress Editing, Lissanne Jones, Marci Mathers, Elizabeth Neal, Stephanie Scott, and Aly Birkl. I really think we’ve created a winner with this one. Thank you for your diligence.

  To everyone who has given the Linear Tactical books a try…thank you! I never dreamed these books would be as popular as they have and I am tremendously blessed to create stories for a living. Without you, there’s definitely no Janie Crouch, author.

  With love and appreciation,

  Janie Crouch
