A Moment of Thanks

A Moment of Thanks:
A few end of year (2011) thanks:
• To People’s Press and its mighty team—George, Mirte, Catherine and Christine. What incredible support. I have no idea how Mirte tracks so many issues and does so with so much flair, fun and good business sense. Catherine, “Buried by the Roan” improved vastly under your editing eye. Christine, thank you for all the public relations efforts and queries.
• To Cindie Geddes, who put “Buried by the Roan” through the close-in editing grinder and found a million fixes. Yes, I counted your catches. Thank you.
• To my friend Tanya Klein, who spotted out even more issues (and caught some potentially embarrassing stuff).
• To editors everywhere: those of us over here in the raw material gathering section depend on you and your eyes and ears and awareness of style.
• To the bookstore retailers and book people across Colorado.
• They are all “book” people, whether they work in a chain (the one big chain left) or an independent retail shop.
• To all the readers I met – Denver, Loveland, Golden, Evergreen, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, Durango, Ridgway, Leadville, Meeker, Parker, Telluride, Estes Park, Frisco, Grand Junction. Thanks for your support!
• To my family, for allowing me the time to drive around the state and hang out at every bookstore I could find.
• To reviewers from major newspapers (like Durango Herald, Grand Junction Sentinel and High Country News) to independent book review sites (such as Think Banned Thoughts): thanks for devoting some space to a Colorado mystery.
• To the many fine friends at Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers.
• I won’t name too many specific individuals but thanks to Jenny Milchman, Pat Stoltey, Mark Graham, Colin Graham, Allyn Harvey, Frank McGee. That list could go to dozens and dozens who have offered their ideas and support.
Thanks for everything. Let me know what I can do in return.
