First, thank you Terry Keim for being my novel circle buddy and reading this story as it was written and offering excruciatingly helpful comments that encouraged me to continue on. Second, once again thank you Kate and Ron Copeland for being the bellwethers which helps me to know if I got a good story going. Thank you, Karen Nitz of the Western Room at the Harney County Library, who answers my endless questions and likes my books. Thank you Cheryl, Claire, Barbara, Debbie and Laurie, librarians of the Harney County Library, who put my e-book mysteries on the library Kindles and Nooks without my even asking. A note of appreciation goes to Scott Thomas, District Archaeologist for the Burns District, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Carla Burnside, archaeologist for the Malheur National Wildlife refuge, and Suzanne Crowley Thomas, archaeologist, who offered helpful opinions on the fate of bones in a hot spring. A special nod of appreciation goes to the Harney Basin Writers, an extraordinary group of writers, who laugh in all the right parts and who have been a wonderful source of support. I am grateful to Patricia Watters, fellow writer, for her cheerleader encouragement and for patiently answering my endless questions about publishing.
