"A special thank you goes out to my amazing editor Jodi Fodor. She taught me about the "fiction" part of historical fiction and pushed me to create tension and not let my characters (or my readers) off the hook.

She put in the footwork too, editing my book on planes, trains, and automobiles to meet the deadline!
