Discovering WestBow Press, while I was knee deep in the trenches of writing The Christmas Bracelet, was a blessing. The staff at WestBow gently guided me through every step of the publishing process. There was not a single time that I felt pressured, uncomfortable, or ill-advised. Because I was terrified, I was not the easiest author with whom to work. It took me weeks and sometimes months to make a single decision. The professionalism and patience of the staff was unprecedented, and I am eternally grateful. (I have a special fondness for Sarah, Justin, and Gillian, all of whom treated me with kid-gloves. A special thanks to the team of artists. People continuously ask me about the cover, because it is beautiful.)
