  To Rose Marie Harris,  
  
  
  who owned and operated Paperbacks Plus, the best  
  
  
  little bookstore in Washington State for the past  
  
  
  twenty-seven years. She’s the kind of bookseller every  
  
  
  writer dreams about—well-read, enthusiastic, caring  
  
  
  and helpful, with an uncanny knack for putting the  
  
  
  right book into the hands of the reader who is sure  
  
  
  to love it. A book signing at Paperbacks Plus always  
  
  
  involved plenty of food, friends and fun, making for  
  
  
  unforgettable events, year in and year out.
  
  To Rose Marie, Kate, Lois and the rest of the staff—  
  
  
  it was a great run, ladies.
  
  Thanks for everything.
