Someone Else's Husband(110)

Thank you to the fantastic Allyson Meierhans and the extraordinary retired detective Richard Reyes, who so generously and tirelessly helped me get the investigative and criminal procedure details right or helped me find (anonymous) someones who could. Thank you for combing through the manuscript and for taking the time for endless follow-up discussions. Thank you also to amazing forensics expert Professor Linda C. Rourke for sharing your wisdom. Any divergence in legal or procedural accuracy is the product of necessary literary license—not for their lack of accurately advising me.

Thank you also to Dr. Joshua Scott, for everything.

Last, and most certainly not least, thank you, Emerson and Harper, for being, each day, the home I always longed for, and the joy I most need. Thanks also for always supporting my crazy hiking adventures, even, or maybe most especially, when you’d really rather I stay home. I love you both, endlessly.
