Once again, I want to thank the members of my critique group, Francoise Harrison, Helen O. Platt, and M. Joan H. Juttner, M.D., for their help and support, not only with this book but all four in the series.
I am grateful to Silver RavenWolf for answering my many questions about Wicca and helping me write a more authentic description of a winter solstice ceremony than the one I first made up. However, there are mistakes, and they are all mine. I highly recommend her book To Ride a Silver Broomstick, for anyone who wants to learn more about the Craft.
Thanks go to Luci Zahray, who has provided much information about poisons.
I also want to thank Maggie Crawford, Danielle Perez, and George Nicholson for believing in me.
And last, my heartfelt gratitude goes to the mystery book dealers who have supported me since the beginning. I love you guys!
