Here are the acknowledgments for the Second Edition:
Writing a novel and preparing it for publication takes a community of family and friends dedicated to one's success. I am thankful to have that in my life.
First of all, I want to thank my parents, Tom and Peggy Frech, for their continued support and encouragement.
I want to thank Rudy Waldner for his support and navigation through publishing and Claire Curry for her help in editing.
I couldn't do this without help from other authors. I want to thank Sherry Foley for her insights as a new author. I'd also like thank Sheila Roberts for her insights as an experienced author. I don't think this journey would have been as smooth as it has been if it had not been for either of these ladies providing advice on different topics.
I want to thank the following people for reading various beta versions of this novel and providing me feedback: Eunie Carkuff, Barbara Curry, Elaine Foiles, Pam McDowell, and Heidi Peterson. A special thanks goes to Angela Schafer for her editing and insight on the manuscript.
A very special thanks goes to Marianne Johnson for naming Frank and Gregory's horses, Dove and Daisy. After posting on Facebook for help, she came to the rescue and named the horses.
I want to thank, by name this time, Jeanne DeVita, Kerry Mand, Kelly Shorten, Celina Summers, and Dominque Eastwood to this list for giving A Place to Call Their Own its first chance.
